Scanning & Capture

It is important to note that some forms pose greater challenges over others, particularly those that are unstructured in nature.  Not all forms are good candidates for OCR and ICR, but often these forms can be changed or redesigned slightly so that information from them can be more easily recognized.

Even with iPhones, iPads, and other digital devices, forms, applications, cheques and documents are still widely used to collect data. While obtaining and leveraging this information from forms is a critical business differentiator, getting the data from documents continues to be a challenge, for many organisations, even in our digital age.
