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

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...
