OverReliance on OCRTools There is a good reason most people closely associate Intelligent Capture solutions with OCR: most of these solutions use OCR and probably grew out of solutions offering more simple capabilities such as document imaging. Many times organizations create their own solutions using OCR toolkits. For simple needs, creating a custom solution using off-the-shelf OCR is completely reasonable. For instance, using OCR to convert images into searchabletextis a perfect taskformostOCR toolkits. However, when it comes to using OCR for turning document-based information into highly-reliable structured data, the requirements quickly outstrip the capabilities of OCR toolkits and the developers using them. This is because OCR was primarily created to solve a single task: transcribe text on a scanned document into machine-readable text. In this regard, little to no attention is paid to the accuracy of specific data fields.
