Why OCR fails? 5 Drawbacks and Limitations of Conventional OCR Engines

OCR Engine


While conventional OCR engine is considered as a mainstay platform and might seem like the end-all, be-all solution for capturing data. It can be frustrating at times when the data is misread or not even be read. Inputting a document into an OCR doesn’t mean that it will actually output something without a hitch- forcing knowledge workers to manually work.

  400 U.S.-based Companies Processing More than One Million Invoices Annually Cite Dramatic Increase in IDP Adoption for Accounts Payable FunctionCompany Recognized as Sample Vendor for Intelligent Document Processing SAN JOSE, Calif. … August 23, 2022 …  Infrrd , a leading provider of Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) solutions, announced today it was named a Sample Vendor for IDP in two recent  Gartner  Hype Cycle reports. Both reports cite the role of IDP in business process improvement. The first report,  Hype Cycle for Natural Language Technologies, 2022 , published on July 11, 2022, discusses how advances in artificial intelligence and (AI) and machine learning (ML) are driving innovation and fostering advances in natural language technologies (NLT)and designates where these new opportunities and methods can prove most beneficial. The report states that, “ IDP uses natural language technologies and computer vision to extract data from structured and un...

How to Prepare Data For OCR Learning

-

Data analysis without data preparation it is a myth. Unless we feed the right data in a proper format, Machine Learning algorithms won’t be able to solve our problem. If we give one wrong input then we end up where we started. So it’s very important to understand what data preparation is and how one can do it. Data, in its original form, may have a lot of missing pieces or disarrangement. Through data processing, one can modify this raw information from a specific database to a format which is understandable and learnable by the machine. Mentioned below are the ways that, we at Infrrd , employ in preparing our data. 1. Data selection: It is necessary first to identify the type of data we are going to be working with. One has to keep in mind whether the available data will be able to address an existing problem or not. We keep certain factors in consideration before selecting the data: Data should not be of low quality: Low-quality input= low-quality output. Dataset is not err...
