OCR for AnyDoc uses a variety of technological processes to recognize varying data types:

• Optical Character Recognition (OCR) analyzes computer-generated text located on paper documents and translates this into usable data. Algorithms identify characters based upon pixilation, curvature, and line direction.
  
• Using techniques similar to OCR, Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) software analyzes and translates handwritten characters.
• Voting is a technique where two data recognition engines are involved, compared, and the best solution is provided.
• Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) captures responses to questions based upon a selected checkbox or bubble — a data type known as mark sense.
• Barcode Recognition (BCR) functionality reads 1D and 2D barcodes and translates them into usable data.

Reduce costs: The costs of manual data entry are not always obvious. Often, employees across the organization are responsible for keying data. But manual data entry creates an undeniable and unnecessary cost and drag on productivity. By automating data entry, OCR for AnyDoc improves efficiency and lowers costs across your organization.

Improve data accuracy: Manual data entry invites the potential for human error. And while your data is probably fairly accurate now, any improvement lowers costs and improves productivity by eliminating the need to investigate and correct errors via accurate character recognition and automated cross-referencing of captured data against external data tables.

Minimize manual sorting: OCR for AnyDoc takes over the process of sorting your documents. Just feed them into your scanner and work digitally to organize batches, document sets and attachments, improving speed, and of course, reducing paper cuts.

For advanced classification needs, AnyDoc®CLASSIFY™, powered by Infiniworx, allows you to automatically identify your document images by their document types with custom user-defined keywords and/or document tags. Documents can be scanned right out of the envelope or in the order in which they enter the workflow—no manual pre-sorting or separating is required.

Improve customer service: Faster document processing means data gets to back-end systems faster. Your customer service reps will have access to key information sooner, equipping them to deliver timely answers and to resolve problems faster. And costs fall because customer issues are resolved on the first call, eliminating the need for extra inquiries.

Evolve your solution as your business grows: As your business evolves, so will your data capture needs. OCR for AnyDoc is ready to grow with you, whether that means taking on new document types to automate, higher volumes or accommodating new business procedures.
