CAPTURE

The system is preset to give you choices on how you want to ingest the invoices. Directly from a scanner, Mobile Phone, Portal, Fax Server, Email, or the most common, a watched folder on the network. Using watched folders is extremely simple, just scan or place the images directly in the folder and let the system will the work for you.

IMAGE PROCESSING

In this phase, the system will prepare the image so that the OCR results are as accurate as possible. The system has pre-programmed algorithms that remove speckles, punch holes, auto rotate, eliminate blank pages, enhances hard to read characters, and more. This is a very critical part of the process that greatly enhances your capture results. Once the image is ready the OCR engine will read and digitize the data so it is ready for the next phase in the process.

CLASSIFICATION

Just like organizing your files at home, OCR’s docMax system organizes your digital documents, like an AP invoice. The system will detect the document type and auto classify every document that goes into the system.

Invoice A
Invoice B
Invoice C

All documents can go into the same watched folder and the system will automatically recognize and categorize them per your requirements.

EXTRACTION

This is the frontier of accuracy and automation. Data extraction deals with two very important functions:

 

  • Voting on low or high confidence characters alerting and directing the user to fields that may have incorrect words or letters. Unsure text is highlighted in RED
  • Business Rules This can be something as simple as ensuring a field to always be a date and have a proper format such as MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YY. Business rules can also include a database lookup in order to compare captured information to information in your company database. The system does extremely well with 2-Way and 3-Way matching.

VALIDATION

Once the above processes are complete there are two options for the documents to travel during the validation stage.

If there are no low confidence characters and all business rules are met, the system will immediately export the document and its data.

If there are rules or confidence scores that show up the image and its data will be sent to the verification station.

Low confidence characters are presented in red allowing the user to make any corrections necessary

Intuitive user interface

DELIVER / EXPORT

The system will export the image directly to Searchable PDF, TIF, JPG, and the data to XML, CSV, JSON, and more. Customers also have the option to create customized data outputs specific to their needs. The system has a very large number of connectors to other systems such as:
