How Digital Document Extraction & OCR AI Software Work
Xtracta is OCR but not as you know it. It’s more.
Traditional data entry automation software focuses on the use of optical character recognition (OCR) as the centrepiece of data extraction. This often requires experts to manually create layout templates and rules outlining the data extraction patterns for each different document design processed.
While this traditional version of data automation software seems gruelling and time-consuming, Xtracta’s artificial intelligence (AI) engine is technologically light years ahead!
With no templates required, Xtracta makes Setup a simple and easy process to complete. By looking at and understanding language, document types, context and the finest details of how various documents are structured, Xtracta’s OCR AI engine autonomously builds a deep understanding of your documents and the data within them. It’s a “set and forget” engine as it will self-learn new document designs without the need for adding new templates.
When it comes to digital document extraction, there’s no need to worry about accuracy concerns because the engine is sensitive enough to read low-resolution scans and non-original documents. However, if there isn’t a 100% match the document is escalated for you to validate the data extracted – and through machine learning the engine learns from your validation.
Xtracta will simplify the way you deal with data.
It removes the need for manual data entry and the need to build and maintain complex electronic data interchanges (EDI). If the party you are getting data from can generate a document – either digital or physical – Xtracta can send it straight into your software!
Our highly competitive per-document pricing makes touchless data capture a cost-effective option for organisations of any size.

FAQs
What is OCR data extraction?
OCR data extraction allows businesses to turn scanned images into digital text. The technology automates manual, time-consuming processes that humans would otherwise complete. Paper-based documents are easily converted to editable, searchable, digital documents without manual data input from staff.
What can OCR be used for?
The most common use of OCR technology is converting physical paper documents into machine-readable forms. Xtracta OCR artificial intelligence software captures and reads various document types, including image files (.PNG, .TIF, .JPEG), scanned documents, and digital files (PDF, email, CSV, XLS, ODT).
How does OCR scanning work?
OCR scanning works by analysing patterns of light and dark within scanned images. Through this process, OCR software can detect the numbers and letters within scanned images, and turn the data into machine-readable text.
Is OCR machine learning or AI?
OCR and AI are two terms often thrown together, but what is their relationship and where does machine learning fit in?
Optical character recognition (OCR) is based on machine learning (ML) and computer vision.
Machine learning (ML) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI). Simply put, it is a technique for realising AI and a method of training algorithms so that they can learn how to make decisions for themselves.
Computer vision is a subset of machine learning, making it an AI technology.
What is the difference between RPA and OCR?
Robotic process automation (RPA) is an intuitive software that mimics human behaviour to automate rule-based processes. This software technology is easy to use to automate digital tasks, performing actions such as typing, navigating, recognising, and extracting data through emulating human behaviour.
RPA uses programmes designed for task automation to build, deploy, and manage (partially or fully) activities usually performed manually by humans.
Optical character recognition (OCR) uses pattern recognition and feature detection, recognising light and dark patterns and line directions and intersections to identify letters and numbers in images. It pulls text from image-based documents such as scanned invoices or PDFs, converting that data into digital data or editable text.
