Processing invoices is often a tedious and time-consuming task for organizations. One way to simplify and speed up this process is automatic text recognition (OCR). OCR software can read text, numbers, and symbols on invoices and convert them into a digital form that can be used for further processing steps.

Denuvo is a controversial anti-piracy software used by many game developers to protect their games against illegal copying and piracy. The software has drawn a lot of criticism in the past from gamers who argue that it affects the performance of their computers and imposes unfair restrictions on game authentication.
However, Denuvo plans to release a new version with a focus on fighting piracy related to downloadable content (DLC). Downloadable content is an important part of many modern video games and refers to additional content that is made available to players after they purchase a game. Piracy related to DLC causes enormous financial damage to game developers and publishers, which can lead to the future of individual titles or even entire studios being jeopardized.

First, there is the growing need for software in a world that is becoming more and more digitized. Second, many software companies have seen new opportunities in the pandemic period and have adjusted their offerings accordingly.
