TYPICAL FORM READER




Form processing systems convert OCR text to data input.

Form set-up takes as much as a day and as little as a few minutes, depending on form complexity.

Typical form processing system savings potential: 15% - 20%



Typical Limitations of Most Form Processors:

Dependent on text being located in or around precise or "fuzzy", pre-set x-y coordinates.

Require form sorting (by type and layout) prior to processing (a significant labor cost-adder).

Have no or limited data validation capabilities.

Have no integrated work process or workflow features.

Can identify, but do not attempt to resolve, OCR errors (requires manual intervention).

Form templates must be developed and maintained.
