What is Optical Character Recognition (OCR)?

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDFs, or images captured by a digital camera, into editable and searchable data. OCR identifies and extracts the text from these documents, transforming the content into a machine-readable format like a Word document, Excel sheet, or structured data (such as XML).

In invoice processing, OCR is often used to automatically read and capture invoice details (such as invoice number, supplier information, and line items) and convert them into structured data, eliminating manual data entry. This data can then be processed by an ERP or accounting system, improving efficiency and accuracy in financial operations.

What is data capture and data extraction?

Data capture and extraction are both essential processes in handling and processing data and are often used synonymously, but some nuances differentiate them.

Data capture is the process of collecting and recording data from various sources. It can be done manually or automatically and involves retrieving information from documents, images, forms, or other sources. Data capture is often done digitally using technologies like OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to scan physical documents and convert the information into a digital format.

Examples of data capture:

  • Scanning an invoice and using OCR to retrieve the text.
  • Filling out forms online where the input is captured digitally.
  • Reading barcodes and QR codes to capture product details.

Data extraction refers to retrieving specific, structured information from a larger unstructured or semi-structured data set. After data is captured, the relevant information is extracted for further use, analysis, or processing. Data extraction can occur from documents, databases, or even websites. For instance, data extraction would identify key fields like invoice number, supplier name, and total amount due once data is captured from an invoice.

Examples of data extraction:

  • Extracting names and addresses from customer records.
  • Pulling line-item details like product names and prices from an invoice.
  • Retrieving financial data from a PDF invoice file.

Through Qvalia’s Invoice OCR service, both processes can be automated to streamline workflows and improve accuracy, especially in finance, procurement, and data analytics.
