Many offices today are flooded with high volumes of data, coming in from countless different sources.

Most companies continue to rely on manual entry to complete their processes, which requires staff and many work hours to complete. Advanced Data Capture is a comprehensive solution that reduces expenses and hassle, while streamlining your data extraction processes. Here’s how Advanced Data Capture converts your data into structured, meaningful information, so you can get the most from your data.
Scanning & Capture: Advanced Data Capture will equip your company with accurate data. It is difficult to achieve accuracy through manual data entry and sorting, and entry errors can quickly become a liability. Instant access to accurate data will accelerate business functions, providing your team with faster information. Capture can be achieved through several different methods including:
- OCR– OCR, or Optical Character Recognition, is a capture method that read machine-printed letters and numbers. This method is best for reading printed documents such as PDFs and word documents.
- ICR– ICR, or Intelligent Character Recognition, takes OCR a step further with more intensive character recognition. ICR can read handwritten text.
- Barcode Recognition– Reads and captures barcodes from documents.
