Forms Processing Software

There have been many advancements in the field of forms processing over the last two decades, thanks to OCR, ICR, and barcode software (OMR), and other technologies. In the beginning, computers assisted in identifying and sorting material using barcode scanning. You can find barcodes not only on items in supermarkets but also on library materials, automatically-generated address labels, and many other forms.

Today, OCR, ICR, and barcode software, and other emerging technology can recognize much more than barcodes-software can capture hand-printed, machine-printed, and even some handwritten text from paper documents with a high degree of accuracy.

OCR (optical character recognition) technology recognizes and translates typed or machine-printed text-and even some handwritten text-into machine-editable text, extracting the information from your scanned paper documents.
ICR (intelligent character recognition) technology recognizes and extracts hand-printed text from paper documents. ICR technology can even learn to recognize different fonts and styles of handwriting during processing.
OMR (optical mark recognition), or barcode, technology identifies the presence of a mark within an area of a document, such as checkboxes or circles marked on surveys or tests.

OMR is also involved in recognizing and converting two-dimensional barcodes, which can be used to store information about the document to which they are attached. You can then scan, identify, and file such documents in a system, such as the Nolij Web imaging solution.

The Intelligent Combination of ICR and OCR Higher Education Requires

The Nolij forms processing solution leverages OCR, ICR, and OMR technologies to provide a sophisticated solution that automatically captures, recognizes, and translates machine- and hand-printed text, automatically uploading it into your administrative database.

Your benefits are numerous, including:

Reduced costs
Increased accuracy of captured data, thanks to automated capture and translation of hand-printed and machine-printed text
Reduced data-entry effort
Greater quality control of documents, because you can validate extracted data

Using our forms processing solution's powerful capabilities in OMR, ICR, and OCR, higher education institutions can turn their paper documents into electronic data, in turn streamlining processes and reducing costs and time.
