Not sure where to start when it comes to implementing automated redaction for your business?
Build a solid foundation for a successful automated redaction project by following the best practice tips for defining your project scope.
Document formatting and quality can have a dramatic effect on OCR and rules accuracy when data capture is concerned. The 5 examples shown below are meant to educate a potential or current data capture user on what can cause accuracy to rise or fall. Although sometimes it’s hard or impossible to correct the issues that cause accuracy to fall, there are generally steps that can be taken to help prevent them.
The PoC was made possible thanks to funding from the State Justice Institute (SJI). The purpose was to provide accuracy benchmarks to courts considering implementing automated redaction technology. NCSC is planning to issue results prior to CTC, publish on their website, and present to various target groups and at conferences.
There are many additional productivity tools in our UI that increase the speed and accuracy of users. With features like auto-zooming and highlighting all data on the image, there is a lot to talk about, but I’m going to dedicate the remainder of this blog post to my personal favorite: Extract’s swiping tools.

By combining OCR output with other technologies, it’s possible to make substantial improvements to workflows throughout an organization. Incoming document workflows are the first and most obvious place that OCR can make a major impact.
OCR (also known as Optical Character Recognition) is defined as the mechanical or electronic conversion of images that are typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-coded text.
