Automated Proofreader

Novatek International's Automated Proofreader (Nova-APR) is a proof reading software solution designed for healthcare and life science organizations that depend on accurate product information documents and printed labels to communicate with end users. By automating the comparison and verification of printed materials against pre-approved master documents, Nova-APR eliminates the errors, fatigue, and inefficiencies associated with manual proofreading processes, holding customer communications to the same standard of safety and accuracy as the products themselves.

Nova-APR operates through a comparison method, scanning all incoming printed materials against a master document to detect any discrepancies across text, graphics, and color. The software is capable of proofreading virtually any file type — from multilingual text documents and images to graphics and even Braille content — making it a versatile solution for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and broader life science organizations seeking to simplify and accelerate their proofreading workflows. The solution is fully 21 CFR Part 11 compliant and includes an extensive, independent audit trail.
