TeleForm: Additional Functionalities through Add-Ons

An extension that uses the latest computer vision (CV) technology to capture form images from mobile phone camera photos.

• Enables photo-JPG processing, allowing customers to simply use their mobile cam to scan and upload paper forms to TeleForm
• The Smart Form Aligner finds the form in the image through intensive use of computer vision (CV), intelligently removes shadows and bi-tonalizes the image automatically so that it becomes legible
• It does perspective correction and results in a high image quality and recognition rate as with conventional scans
• It doesn’t depend on a certain mobile app –photos taken from the mobiles native cam app will do
• Overall, the applied computer vision algorithms make TeleForm more flexible and reliable in supporting decentralized input channels and scenarios

TeleForm Scan Station: Importing various form photos from directory. Of course, other sources like receiving images from WebCapture, ABC / BHF and E-Mail attachments are supported as well. TeleForm Verifier: Showing the results of the image pre-processing in TeleForm classification QC. All forms were successfully classified by TeleForm Reader.

An extension that enables the capture of two images in one scan process run.

• Ease verification work of questionable items in TeleForm Verifier showing the Multi Stream color image
• Receive best possible recognition results by using the Multi Stream black + white, color dropout image for OCR
• Supply sub-sequent workflows systems with Multi Stream color images
• The Multi Stream color image also replicates the original much better for archival purposes
• It works with any device (not vendor specific) that can deliver the images to TeleForm in file pairs

TeleForm Scan Station: Handling the multistream images in TeleForm Scan Station. Note that TeleForm Remote Capture Station and ABC / BHF are supported as well. TeleForm Verifier: Using the color image in TeleForm eases the verification process of questionable items.

This extension opens TeleForm to new cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) services, that boost OCR and ICR recognition results.

• Greatly enhances OCR and ICR results through cloud-based AI and ML image processing, reducing the time needed and overall cost for data capture
• Also works very well with single and multiline handwritten text from TeleForm image zones allowing the capturing of data content that wasn’t possible before
• Supports more than 60 languages for data recognition
• The TeleForm Reader extension sends context-free image snippets of TeleForm form fields to the cloud OCR through a secure https online connection
• Cloud processing setting options available for global, US and the EU endpoints

TeleForm Verifier: Sample result from Cloud OCR recognition of handwriting. TeleForm Verifier: Reading E-Mail address with Cloud OCR (image below) in comparison to TeleForm default recognition engine (upper image). TeleForm Verifier: Reading multiple lines of handwritten text with Cloud OCR. Showing results in comparison to TeleForm default recognition engine.

This extension turn dormant datasets into automatically applicable process knowledge through intelligent contextualization.

• Achieve higher process automation rates through automatic decisions based on contextual data, greatly reduces the manual verification and correction time
• Instead of searching tediously, Fault-tolerant data search allows you to find and use the right information quickly, increasing efficiency in TeleForm capturing and also greatly enhances the Verifying-UX
• Automatically search through large amounts of data, finding the needle in the haystack without a hassle, utilizing the easy-to-use FuzzySearch filter-dialog UI, that will save you lots of time in verification
• FuzzySearch also helps for duplicate checks and avoidance and therefore raises the overall captured data quality
• Provided as a 64-Bit Server solution with a .NET/COM/REST API object interface for easy and flexible integration in custom projects

TeleForm Verifier: FuzzySearch as integrated in TeleForm Verifier, allowing the user to easily select the most likely data from the database to speed up the data capturing process. Not seen in this picture: The prior recognition process in TeleForm Reader, backed up by FuzzySearch, already corrected half of the field-rejects automatically, reducing the number of elements to look at in TeleForm Verifier. TeleForm Verifier: Showing a custom integration of a duplicate check. It prevents from unnecessary cost that rise through duplicates in subsequent backend system processes.
