ancora Software Announces the Filing of a US Patent on the Application of Machine Learning in Data Capture for Commercial Documents
Summary
ancora Software, Inc., a global leader in intelligent process automation solutions including Intelligent Document Classification and Advanced Data Capture, announced today the filing of a U.S. patent application for the way its ancoraDocs software can correctly identify data fields that must be captured from documents potentially distorted during the scanning process. These approaches to locating data often fail on badly designed documents or when vertical or horizontal shifts, noise, pre-printed lines, folds, or other distortions occur during the scanning process. Using examples of documents from the same source and with the same layout the technology built into ancoraDocs automatically determines the precise location of data, even when an image has become distorted.” ancoraDocs’ patented unassisted and assisted machine learning algorithms eliminate the need for document capture templates or a long, complicated setup. ancoraDocs also is ideal for small businesses, which have historically not been able to take advantage of automated document capture because of the significant costs of getting started. Headquartered in San Diego, CA, ancora Software maintains sales and support operations throughout North America and in the United Kingdom.
