How AI OCR works

Employees can accomplish much more when they’re not tied up manually processing documents or creating OCR templates and rules. Capture and export document data more efficiently and cost-effectively with AI OCR technology.

Automate your document processing

AI brings understanding to OCR invoice recognition and unlocks the full potential of OCR automation. How? First, the AI learns templates and naming standards independently, with occasional assistance from a human operator. 

Next, its deep learning capabilities make AI invoice processing as fascinating as a thinking, feeling robot. Let AI OCR handle tedious document tasks — and watch your AP team’s productivity and job satisfaction skyrocket.

AI vs. traditional OCR

AI OCR is a highly accurate yet flexible technology because it doesn’t require specific rules or templates like traditional OCR. From capturing data with speed and precision to automating document workflows, AI OCR supercharges your organization’s efficiency.
