Forms Processing applications let you recognize forms filled in by hand in order to automate data entry tasks. Handprint recognition has come a long way in the past few years. Cost and complexity have gone down while accuracy gets increasingly higher. This has finally made this technology available to small and mid-sized businesses.

Dynamic forms processing has also emerged to recognize data on documents like invoices where the data appears in a different location on every page. This lets you automate virtually any data entry task except script handwriting.

ICR Forms Processing for Service Bureaus & Scanning Departments
ABBYY FormReader also has an Enterprise version for service bureaus and corporate scanning departments that have to process 30,000 forms per month or more (assuming a single full-time operator can process just over 1,000 pages per day). Enterprise forms processing means batch jobs are coordinated by a central server, with multiple scanners, recognition stations, verification operators and administration all on separate workstations.
