Revolutionizing Document Management with OCR Systems

Technology : Artificial Intelligence, Image Processing & Computer Vision

Business Problem

Businesses face the challenge of manual data entry from printed text in images or scanned documents
The manual data entry process is time-consuming and can hinder overall efficiency in document handling
Extracting relevant information from printed text in documents is a complex task
Inefficiencies in indexing and retrieval of digital documents
Dependency on manual processes for converting printed text into machine-readable formats
Traditional methods without OCR technology may struggle with handling various fonts, languages, and complex document layouts
OCR technology is particularly valuable when dealing with large volumes of documents
Accurately extract text while preserving the original content and formatting of the source material

Solution

OCR is designed to seamlessly integrate with various software applications and platforms, facilitating the incorporation of machine-readable text into digital systems.

OCR Workflow

Image Acquisition The OCR process starts with capturing the physical document using a scanner or a digital camera. The image quality, resolution, and lighting conditions can impact the accuracy of OCR.
Pre-Processing The acquired image undergoes pre-processing to enhance its quality and prepare it for text extraction. This step involves operations like noise reduction, image rotation, skew correction, and contrast adjustment.
Text Localization OCR algorithms analyze the pre-processed image to locate areas that contain text. This can involve techniques such as edge detection, connected component analysis, and contour detection to identify text regions accurately.
Text Segmentation Once text regions are identified, OCR algorithms segment the text into individual characters or words. This process separates text from graphics, tables, or other non-textual elements.
Feature Extraction It involves identifying distinctive characteristics, such as line angles and curves, from scanned documents to enable accurate character recognition.
Character Recognition In this step, OCR algorithms match the extracted features against a trained database of characters to recognize and identify each character. The recognition can be based on statistical models, pattern matching, machine learning algorithms, or neural networks.
Output Generation Finally, the recognized text is generated as output, which can be used for various purposes. It can be saved as editable text documents, indexed for search functionality, or integrated into other applications for further processing and analysis.

Testimonial

Our Source of Motivation

Excellent to work with in every way. Proactively identified solutions to the problem in the initial design and the recommended solutions. Work has top-notch. Results delivered on time. Communication was excellent.

Real pleasure consulting with Ridgeant to set up our company's entire data warehouse and dashboards on AWS. I will definitely be reaching out to them for future work to be done. Our project was effective and 100% achieved what I planned to do in the beginning, in a shorter time frame and with less effort than I expected.

CCR Data perform complex data migrations, we needed and extra pair of hands to restore an Oracle database and transfer the data to a Microsoft SQL database ready for our migration analysts to do their stuff. Nitesh was able to make available at short notice one of their team who was able to see the project through from start to finish. We would not hesitate in recommending or using Ridgeant again and would be happy to outsource bigger projects to them in the future.

I have used RA on numerous occasions over the past 2 years, specifically with Nitesh Solanki for the delivery on PDI ETL jobs. I am very happy with him and the high level of quality work he has provided. He seems to be available all the time and works extremely hard to deliver high quality solutions.

Working with Ridgeant was a game-changer for us. Thanks to Nitesh from Ridgeant, our data strategy is on point and giving our business a major boost!

They took us from square one, building a smart data strategy – everything from collecting data to dishing out real-time insights. With their help, we've seen some major improvements. We would give them a thumbs-up for anything data-related.

Ridgeant has made a real difference for our insurance firm. Their know-how in fraud detection is top-notch. Their data strategies have been a big help, and we are seeing great results. We are quite pleased with what they've done for us

They truly understand what they do. Their restaurant analytics provide real-time insights into our operations and customer behaviors, and it has made a significant difference in our business.

Working with Ridgeant has been fantastic! Thanks to their AI and ML-powered solution, we've made great progress. Their expertise helped us spot and prevent fraud in rentals and make us trustworthy.
