In over two decades of my professional experience, I never came across a ‘happy’ OCR customer. I would go as far as saying that there are no happy OCR customers!

In fact, one of the reasons we started Infrrd was to change that. As a part of our sales process, we regularly meet prospects who have burnt their fingers in the past with OCR technology. Some of them are so disappointed that they do not want to give it another try… ever!

We have turned more than 30 OCR detractors into IDP believers. But there are so many others out there that are still against trying it again. If you are one of them, read on, let me make a case for why it is time to give it another look.

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.
