Scanning Technology
The automatic form scanning, data capture and recognised data output extraction technology uses the combination of form OCR, OMR and ICR recognition engines which allows us to accurately capture computer typed, to some degree handwritten forms, barcode, checked boxes data information in a matter of seconds, after the conversion process the recognised form data can then be extracted to Microsoft Excel, Access, txt or CSV format.
The Data Capture Process
The very first step in the form scanning and data capture process is to identify how the form is filled in. Has it been filled using a computer, typewritter, from carbon paper, handwritten or a mixture of all these. Then we ascertain the data-type:
- numeric data
- alpha-numeric data
- check boxes
- multichoice questions
- true or false questions
- pre-fix numbers such telephone no. with the country and area code
What are the objectives of each project form scanning and its data conversion? Using this initial assessment, we can understand the nature of the form and data-type help us to employ the appropriate processing technology, such as automatic processing or manual data entry.
The Benefits of Form Processing
One of the main reason companies have their forms scanned and the data extracted into an organised database or spreasheet format is to perform analysis of the data they have collected on the forms. This analysis can not be performed easily if the forms are in paper format. By conversion of the form data into an electronic form, organisations reduce time, eliminate backlogs and significantly improve collected data quality. The electronic capture process is far quicker and more acurate than the manual conversion of data from forms. Our form scanning bureau, data capture and data entry service allows organisations to focus on their core business and concentrate on the key rolls of the business, save costs in hiring additional staff and confront the rapid obsolescence of costly hardware and software.
