Intelligent Document Processing
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) refers to the use of AI, OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and machine learning to extract, classify, and process data from documents automatically.
Key Components of Intelligent Document Processing
The key components of Intelligent Document Processing are:
- Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Converts scanned or handwritten text into machine-readable data for further processing.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Interprets unstructured text to derive context and meaning for accurate classification.
- Machine Learning Models: Continuously learn from user corrections to improve data extraction and accuracy.
- Document Classification: Automatically identifies document types (invoices, contracts, forms) for proper routing and handling.
- Data Validation & Integration: Ensures extracted data is accurate and integrates it into business systems like CRMs or ERPs.
Why Intelligent Document Processing is Important
Traditional document handling is labor-intensive, error-prone, and time-consuming. IDP brings speed and precision to document-centric workflows by automating extraction, reducing manual entry, and improving data quality. This enhances compliance, lowers operational costs, and enables faster decision-making, especially in document-heavy industries like finance, insurance, and healthcare.
