Features & Benefits

Benefits

  • One tool does it all: No need to buy and learn multiple toolkits to get the job done.
  • Increases accuracy and efficiency of document processing.
  • Slashes data entry labor costs by up to 90 percent.
  • Automates processing of the widest range of documents: structured or unstructured.
  • Text recognition engines can be tuned to maximize application-specific accuracy.
  • Achieves the highest overall accuracy.
  • Processes grayscale and bi-tonal document images.
  • Web-enabled architecture works in distributed or centralized environments.
  • Finds and captures data even if its location is unknown.
  • Robust and scalable: Proven in high-volume, mission-critical document processing applications.

Features

Recognition

  • Machine Print (OCR): Recognizes a variety of fonts and styles.
  • Hand Print (ICR): Recognizes constrained and unconstrained characters.
  • Check box (mark-sense or OMR)
  • Barcodes: Supports both 1D & 2D.
  • Alpha-numeric patterns: Locates and extracts Social Security Numbers, addresses, etc.

Image processing

Mitek's deep experience in image enhancement maximizes both human and machine readability. Prior to recognition, ImageNet Data Capture™:

  • Straightens and crops the page.
  • Registers (aligns) data fields.
  • Removes lines, borders, backgrounds and unwanted text.
  • Repairs Broken Characters.
  • Separates Touching Characters.

Broadening the Scope of Document Processing

Many business processes involve a mix of both structured and unstructured documents. For example, mortgage processing requires a structured application form, an unstructured contract and dozens of other document types. These documents don't look alike but they may have many common data elements, such as a loan number or the borrower's name. Now data can be extracted automatically in this scenario using a single toolkit.

How it works

ImageNet Data Capture leverages Mitek's 15 years of image analytics leadership. It extracts data from any type of document by searching for application-specific keywords, the pattern of a data field (e.g., Social Security Number) or both. It can find key words or patterns even if various document designs place the fields in different locations.

Key words and patterns are specified during creation of a document description file, which ImageNet Data Capture uses during its search for data fields. After field locations and data types are identified (e.g. machine text), it recognizes and returns the data.

IMagePROVE™ Technology

IMagePROVE technology turns your smartphone's camera into a "virtual" document scanner. It converts any document you photograph with your phone into a digital image that is equivalent in size, resolution and quality to documents you used to scan at your office.

Unlike their scanned counterparts, mobile images captured by camera phones are exposed to variable lighting conditions, various angles, and focal distance. Ever take a bad photo at a birthday party? Well, you can do the same with a document. Let's face it, even with steady hands and good conditions, "raw" photos of documents taken by your phone are drastically different: they may have extra objects in the frame like keys or a coffee cup that can throw the processing off, or they may be in an unknown size and resolution from the original document. Even worse, in most cases the document in the photo is often geometrically distorted, skewed or warped. As a result, the quality of the "raw" mobile document image is virtually useless. That's where Mitek has a big advantage.

IMagePROVE uses advanced algorithms to identify and fix all these problems. Picture crooked? We'll straighten it. Warped? We'll un-warp it. Shadowed? We'll remove it. IMagePROVE automatically makes each mobile document picture perfect and equivalent to a scanned image.

Mobile Receipt Customer Testimonial

"Just a short note to say that I've just downloaded Mobile Receipt for the iPhone and wanted to write and tell you and your team what a fantastic job you've done on that app. Without a doubt, it's the best iPhone app that I've yet seen.

I run a campaign in Australia called The Paper-Less Alliance (www.PaperLessAlliance.com) and I'm really impressed with how easy you make it for people to create expenses reports without using paper (you also make it a lot easier full stop).

As someone who is hopeless when it comes to putting together receipt reports (and I mean truly hopeless to the point of incompetence) I did all my receipts this morning using Mobile Receipt. I'm sure my PA fell off her chair when that expenses report came through!

With best regards and thanks for a very useful app."
