The Problem with Pure OCR Software

Standard OCR works well for printed text but fails miserably with handwriting. Recognition rates are often below 70% – far too low for business-critical processes.

Pure OCR achieves only 60-70% accuracy with handwriting
Illegible handwriting is recognized incorrectly or not at all
Checkboxes and tick boxes are often overlooked
Signatures cannot be processed
Error correction often costs more than OCR software itself
No guarantee for data quality – risky for critical processes

The formalogix Hybrid Approach: AI + Human

We combine cutting-edge AI technology with human verification – as accurate as manual entry, even with most difficult handwriting.

AI automatically analyzes forms and recognizes handwriting, checkboxes, and signatures

Machine learning recognizes patterns and learns from each processing

Uncertain fields are automatically forwarded to trained staff

Human experts verify critical fields for maximum accuracy
