A New Player in Data Capture: Stamp Extraction using Infrrd’s IDC

Image
Many multinational companies today, face the most significant revolutionary change in the realm of technology. Namely, conversion of paper documents to digital and the inability to leverage data ensnared inside scanned documents and images. Relying on data trapped inside documents and manually re-keying them can land businesses into a bottleneck situation. Therefore, the need for an automated solution to segment and extract document elements is high.  Originally published at  infrrd.ai

Data Extraction From Annual Reports Do you spend a lot of time daily in extracting meaningful insights from  𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 ? Annual reports come in all sorts of formats with non-standard taxonomy being the norm more than the exception. Add in that important information is always presented in tables, charts, graphs, and other containers  OCR   has difficulty reading, and the picture is clear.A single Annual Report can be up to 186 pages or more. When humans are left to manually extract critical data from each page, how long do you think a single review of a single document would take? Now what if you had hundreds? Thousands to review?

Can you achieve 100% AI automation?

Image
Intelligent Automation Infrrd client wanted to implement a 100%   automated insurance   claim process. Such a process would give them a competitive advantage over other providers. After collaborating on the 100% question, we found the most critical bottleneck in need of a fix was  accurately extracting data  trapped in various  unstructured documents   and images. Infrrd could help them  automate data extraction   with a high degree of accuracy, the claim process could run using  straight-through processing  — with minimal human involvement. We removed the  data extraction  bottleneck for them…Today, they operate right on the cusp of 100%.  <READ MORE >

Benefits of Infrrd’s Intelligent Data Capture platform

“Intelligent data capture can achieve up to 95% accuracy and processes 12x faster than manual processing.” While traditional  OCR solution  may still be a better option for a few organizations, it fails to address critical challenges of graph extraction like identifying trends. Moreover, it also fails to address issues such as identifying overlapping graphs or axis scales and labels. Unlike OCR technology, the  IDC  platform is powered with AI-capabilities like  Machine Learning  and Natural Language Generator (NLG) to analyze the full population of data and identify outliers and expectations. It is these capabilities that enable entrepreneurs to draw a broader and deeper set of insights from visual representations. Once all the rules are in place, the data is extracted quickly and accurately, thereby increasing productivity and reducing the number of keystrokes required to perform the graph extraction task.  Intelligent Data Processing Infrrd’...

Streamline work processes with a modern data extraction method

Image
When receipts come in different sizes, layouts, and formats, the manual method can break down. Employees can grow bored doing repetitive tasks and become disengaged, leading to unexpected and costly errors.  Worse yet, errors can trigger rework that steals even more of your employee’s time and productivity.  This calls for a smart solution that can effortlessly automate repetitive tasks so employees can spend their time on things that truly matter, doing things that only humans can do well. Modern solutions can also increase efficiency and quality by automatically doing real-time policy checks, detecting duplicate and fraudulent bills, and more.  And the solution is…. Automation. But hold on, all data extraction solutions aren’t the same. For example, consider  OCR . It’s an old but reliable horse in the race of automation and many businesses use OCR today to extract data from documents. But OCR has its limitations - especially when it tries to tackle complex...

How Automation Can Simplify Receipt Data Extraction Process

To Know About Building An OCR Scanner From Scratch

Image
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tools have come a long way since their introduction in the early 1990s. The ability of OCR software to convert different types of documents such as PDFs, files or images into editable and easily storable format has made corporate tasks effortless. Not only this, it’s ability to decipher a variety of languages and symbols gives Infrrd OCR Scanner an edge over ordinary scanners. However, building a technology like this isn’t a cakewalk. It requires an understanding of machine learning and computer vision algorithms. The main challenge one can face is identifying each character and word. So in order to tackle this problem we’re listing some of the steps through which building an OCR scanner will become much more clearer. Here we go: 1. START WITH OPTICAL SCANNING:   Consider the idea of putting together a good optical scanner, to begin with. With a scanner, one can capture an image of the original file or document. Remember to select an opt...

Peeking into Graph Extraction using Infrrd’s IDC Platform

Image
Whether you’re presenting an annual report, comparing sales figures, or highlighting a trend, visual representations such as graphs or charts are a great help to understand data elements quickly. However, in today’s hyper-interactive world, it’s hard to understand why data still continues to be represented as colorful graphs. These data trapped visual representations that cause restrictions in harnessing the data or make better decisions. With an increase in document volumes and a growing number of layouts, graph extraction has become a complex process; its optimization is a struggle for many organizations. Manual data retyping is prone to up 90% error, is time-consuming, and is therefore not scalable. This grinding process also requires significant rework and is an area that could benefit from   AI-enabled automated platforms . Many enterprises already understood this and are ready to jump right into automated solutions, implement them into their business processes, and reap...
