Restore Digital offers form processing services in which data captured from hard copy or electronic data fields is converted into electronic data for analysis. We have worked with organisations undertaking research, insurance companies onboarding new customers, to Government undertaking census activity to support them collect and analyse data.
Our Forms Processing Engine can capture typed and handwritten data in multiple languages, capturing the information from their respective fields and entering a database or other electronic format.
Our solution removes a lot of the issues around manual form processing, including:
Ideally, forms are processed by using pre-defined templates and configurations, sometimes with a barcode to aid recognition if you use a variety of forms. The template creates a map of the document for our Engine allowing it to recognise fields by location.
Our engine initially use a variety of automated recognition methods, including:
Recognition is only the first step for our Forms Processing Engine. Post recognition the engine can extract and deliver information into a back-end system. It can also process and generate formatted results using calculations and analysis. Perfect for high volume forms.
Our scanning service digitises all hard copy forms quickly and simply.
Our digital mailroom service offers both the inbound digestion of completed forms straight from recipient to Restore (both hard copy and email); but can also manage the outbound printing and distribution of these forms.
Forms can be classified into two high-level categories:
Data is always found in the same absolute position on the page. This allows a lens grid to be applied to easily extract the data.
The location of the data fields varies from document to document. This may include invoices, where the data contained is always the same, but locations vary by company. According to AIIM 80% of forms processed fall into this category.
The process of automated forms processing typically includes the following steps:
A batch of completed forms is scanned using a high-speed scanner.
Images are cleaned with document image processing algorithms to improve accuracy.
Forms are classified based on original template forms and the fields are extracted using the appropriate recognition components.
