Optical Character Recognition (OCR) supports scanning and extracting data from images in jpeg, jpg, gif, png, and tiff formats; and images embedded in various files, such as Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, PDFs and ZIP files. Umbrella supports scanning images with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi and a minimum font size of 10 points. The text extracted from these files is scanned for violations.

Currently only the English language is supported.
