AI-powered Optical Character Recognition for Global Businesses

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a traditional mechanism adopted by large organizations to scan and process texts, documents, and graphics. However, it requires human intervention to define rules and templates leading to high operational costs, time-consuming processes, and inaccurate results. Today, artificial intelligence services are opening new possibilities for global businesses to automate and optimize document scanning, processing, and verification.

Here are some effective business applications of optical character recognition backed by artificial intelligence and computer vision technology.

Government Organizations

The current infrastructure of government organizations encounters a massive explosion of unstructured data every day. It includes military movements, investigation records, traffic information, census reports, social media posts, and more. Traditionally, manual labor was required to process and derive insights from these unstructured datasets which hamper planning and policy-making.

With artificial intelligence, government agencies can now delegate the time-consuming process of data scanning, translation, and extraction to machines. AI analysts use computer vision and natural language processing (NLP) services to train the ML models that power the following government operations-

a) Identity Document Analysis

AI-backed OCR techniques enable officials to accelerate public data verification including identity documents, licenses, and contracts while handling variations. Unlike manual validation, OCR systems can easily scan through millions of copies to strengthen cybersecurity and examine threats.

How Oodles AI is using OCR techniques to transform Government operations?

We, at Oodles, train machine learning models with large datasets comprising of close variations that enable real-time object detection. Our AI analysts use neural network libraries such as OpenCV and TensorFlow to source the following government applications-

a) Our OCR systems can scan and process various ID documents such as Adhaar Card, passports, PAN cards, driving license, etc.

b) We combine facial recognition techniques with OCR to analyze identity documents and extract relevant public data for cybersecurity and census purposes.  

Financial Institutions

Financial institutions such as banks, insurance agencies, and accounting firms are on the verge of complete digitization. However, the dependency on manual processing of cheques, monthly statements, and other important transactions remains a long-standing challenge for banks.

Unlike traditional OCR, AI-backed OCR systems enable text recognization and extraction from unstructured data such as invoices, cheques, and monthly statements. With computer vision technology, banks and financial institutions can automate the following critical operations-

a) Digital Onboarding
