Table features:

OCR software: OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology designed to recognize and interpret text characters within images, such as those in printed books, photographs, or scanned documents. This technology transforms image-based text into computer-readable characters, enabling future editing, computing, and analysis.

Codes:

  • No code: No-code platforms are designed for users with no programming knowledge. They provide a visual development environment where users can create applications using drag-and-drop components and pre-built templates.
  • Low code: Low-code platforms require some degree of coding knowledge but significantly less than traditional development environments. They also offer a visual interface with drag-and-drop features but allow for more customization and complexity through limited coding.
  • General code (traditional coding): This approach involves writing software using programming languages like Python, Java, or C++. It requires a comprehensive understanding of coding, logic, and development frameworks. 

Cloud-based & APIs: IDP & OCR services in the cloud allow users to upload documents to be processed on remote servers, making the tool accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. IDP & OCR APIs enable integration into larger systems or applications which allow automated text extraction from images within different software environments.

Rossum overview

Founded in 2017, Rossum identifies itself mainly as an IDP vendor, utilizing technologies such as machine learning and NLP in document processing. As in accounts payable, Rossum’s technology offers end-to-end automation throughout many different industries. In finance, OCR use can trigger inefficiencies in case of deviations. The validation interfaces can be nonexistent, and this can consume a lot of IT’s time. Rossum aims to fix these by empowering existing technologies with AI. Its software can recognize the design, specific language, and formatting signals in documents.

Implementing Rossum’s IDP platform, which blends open-source Japanese OCR with proprietary technology, cut the manual effort by 75%. Now, document validation averages 50 seconds, saving 27.5% of the time per document. 2
