Benefits and Use Cases of Document OCR
Konfuzio recognizes printed text and handwritten notes in over 100 languages and converts information from documents, images, and scans into data that can be processed by machines. This allows the results to be imported directly into legacy systems such as SAP or a CRM.
The effect is measurable: For routine document-based tasks, time savings of up to 75 % are possible. Manually processing 1,000 invoices per month costs a company about 50 hours, which can be redirected to core business activities through OCR automation.
Output formats
By default, you receive searchable files in PDF or PDF/A format. Upon request, other formats such as DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX are available, as well as structured output in JSON or CSV for direct further processing.
Typical Applications
- Document Processing: Structured information—such as names, addresses, invoice numbers, or item numbers—is extracted from unstructured text and imported into databases or CRM systems.
- Digital Archiving: Printed documents are converted into searchable, electronically archivable formats in an audit-compliant manner and can be retrieved at any time.
- Mail and Package Logistics: Handwritten and printed addresses, as well as barcodes, are automatically recognized, which speeds up sorting and delivery processes and improves traceability.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
01.
What added value does AI-based OCR have compared to traditional OCR solutions?
Conventional OCR software often requires the manual creation of rules and layouts. The AI software Konfuzio, on the other hand, automates this time-consuming task using algorithms. This saves the resources of IT experts, as the software also learns from non-IT experts and it is still possible to customize the software.
02.
Can the OCR also recognize handwriting?
Yes, OCR systems can recognize handwriting. Often it is also possible to recognize Handwriting Text Recognition (HTR) the talk. However, the recognition of handwriting by AI depends on whether the handwriting is clear and distinct enough to be read by third parties. Handwriting that is intentionally designed to be legible is typically easier for humans and AI technologies to recognize.
03.
Are check boxes supported?
In addition, Konfuzio offers a module for Optical Mark Recognition (OMR)so that forms can be processed that contain boxes and checkboxes in addition to text.
