Datacap Professional Services include form design services for optimal results from your data capture system. Form design and layout can dramatically impact the accuracy of data extraction. For example, if data fields are too close to the edge, too densely packed together, or if the form fillers aren't instructed to legibly handprint characters, the accuracy of your data capture system will not be optimum.
Document capture systems often use bar codes on "separator sheets" to indicate the type of documents which follow. This burdens the scanner operator with the task of inserting the proper separator sheet between each batch. Datacap can help you eliminate this task by preparing bar codes for each form that identifies everything a system needs to know.
Handprint recognition ICR results are vastly improved when letters are clearly separated. Datacap's Paperbox font provides form designers with a useful tool for optimizing for icr recognition. Rendered in a low-resolution light gray, the box is dark enough to provide a guideline for placement of individual letters, yet light enough to fade during scanning.
You can improve recognition of machine-printed documents by following some simple guidelines. For example, Datacap assembled a list of rules for its health insurance customers to provide healthcare providers, which results in higher accuracy when processing claims.
