Comments and Reviews
Hi, Great service, it enables me to search quickly through all my text notes on dropbox. A possible enhancement would be if I could forward mail to ambar to save and index it.
Regards and keep up the good work,
Mike.

Ambar scans folders for documents, indexes them, runs OCR across, and lets you find documents via keyword search and gives you the direct links and displays some content even directly as a preview in the search results.
While some OCR results are not exactly pleasing to the eye, especially formatted data such as tables, it really does a good job at finding everything quickly. What I am missing is some control over resource use of the provided VM, as well as some more customization of the interface. Though I assume that that is currently reserved for Enterprise customers or in the making.
Great job, best OCR search package I've seen!
The best I've found, and still being developed meaning that the opportunities for improvement still left might just be fulfilled!
