Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about this download

Does the AI decide on an application?

The decision is made by the responsible person. PaperOffice splits, recognizes and reads the intake and puts missing required details up for review. For every value read, the data field shows its source in the form.

Are forms filled in by hand read?

Yes. With AI-DMS Ultra, AI-OCR also recognizes handwriting, line by line with its position. The “Government Forms” template reads ticked boxes as a field of their own. Check hard-to-read spots in the original.

What if the file number is spelled differently?

The graph compares the number character by character, ignoring upper and lower case. If the spelling differs, you link the letters by drag and drop in the list. Search also finds the file number in scans.
