Capabilities

What's included

Classification & extraction

Documents are automatically sorted by type and the relevant fields extracted — from application forms to patient records and HR files.

Handwriting & mark recognition

ICR and OMR read handwritten fields, tick boxes and exam answer sheets, with validation rules that catch errors before export.

Customer onboarding

Capture identity documents, proof of residence and biometrics at onboarding, with verification and validation queries in near real time.

Mobile & offline capture

From bring-your-own-device apps to rugged, biometric-enabled kits designed to operate for days with limited power and connectivity.

Paper & tablet in one flow

PAPI (paper) and CAPI (tablet) channels feed the same validated dataset, so you can mix channels without reconciling twice.

Line-of-business integration

Validated data is exported to your databases, ERP, HR, billing or case-management systems via standard integrations.
