Invoice recognition (OCR)

Scan & Recognize
With ICreative's so-called IRS recognition report, recognition problems can be quickly identified. It provides guidance on which areas in the process there is room for improvement and also immediately provides a possible solution direction.
Invoices are one of the most difficult types of documents to recognize properly, as there is a lot of information on a relatively small area. The knowledge and expertise ICreative has gained with this over the past twenty years is bundled in the ICreative Invoice Pro Package.

Convert PDF invoices to XML invoices
How well invoices are recognized by your OCR solution is not visible to the naked eye, and you don't notice much of an effect at first. What makes it extra difficult is that the data for measuring the degree of recognition does not come directly from the system itself. For that, relevant data about the process must be collected and combined, and that's not all.
Once you have determined from the data which supplier(s) are causing the under-recognition rate, you need to find out what is causing it in order to take appropriate action. So human interpretation is needed to figure out exactly what is causing it.
