Our automatic data capture solution "reads" information on your forms no matter if they arrive via email, web, fax or paper. The Forms Processing Software uses a technology called OCR (optical character recognition). It then automatically extracts the information from your documents. Once the information is extracted by the Forms Processing Software, it is interpreted, verified and transferred into your computer system. All is handled automatically by the Forms Processing Software. By using ReadSoft's document scanning software some companies have been able to cut down on their document management costs by 75%.

FORMS can do all the work for you

 

Form processing software means that forms processing no longer needs to be a tedious and time-consuming task. ReadSoft's form processing software FORMS can do all the work for you. FORMS is an Automatic Data Capture software which "reads" information on your forms. It doesn't matter if the forms arrive via email, fax, web or paper. FORMS automatically extracts the information from your documents.

Cut down on document management costs

Once the information is extracted, it is interpreted, verified and transferred into any computer system. All is handled automatically. Some companies have been able to cut down on their document management costs by 75% by using ReadSoft's automatic data capture software.

Forms processing software makes it possible to handle all your forms automatically. By scanning forms and using Automatic Data Capture (or Automatic Document Capture as it is also called), information is automatically captured, interpreted and transferred into any computer system.

 

This automatic forms processing is mainly conducted in two ways. ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) allows ReadSoft's data capture software to recognize handwritten characters while OCR (Optical Character Recognition) deals with machine print.

Benefits of form processing

Automatic forms processing enables enormous savings in time and money when entering forms into a computer system. It also reduces human errors to a minimum and thus increases the data quality.

Forms processing software is faster, cheaper and more accurate than manual handling. Put your forms into a scanner and let our forms processing software do the rest of the work for you. The techniques used are called OCR (Optical Character Recognition), ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) and OMR (Optical Mark Recognition).

By scanning the forms, the software creates an electronic image (Document Imaging) from which information can be extracted. The extracted information is then interpreted and validated in a highly automated process. The last phase is the transfer of the information into your business system.

Our forms processing software uses scanning to read handwritten forms, machine printed forms, barcodes, checkboxes etc. It can also read electronic forms, fax forms, and emailed forms The scanning also means that you will get an electronic archive of all your forms without having to handle the bulky paper.
