Brainware Foundation EP1 includes key enhancements to functionality, usability and security – most notably the addition of a breakthrough handwriting recognition engine. Brainware users can now opt to leverage Microsoft’s cloud OCR engine through Azure Computer Vision, an intelligent content analysis tool within the portfolio of Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services. The Microsoft engine includes advanced OCR capabilities for extracting difficult handwritten inputs, in addition to machine-printed text. Extraction can be performed in a single pass on free-form printed or scripted writing without anchors, constraint boxes, color dropout, or additional OCR/ICR engines.
“Our goal with the Brainware modernization vision and strategy is to continue offering organizations the most powerful document acquisition and intelligent data capture software on the market,” said Tim Shippy, capture product manager at Hyland. “The addition of advanced handwritten text OCR will significantly expand an organization’s ability to extract information from documents and forms, as well as their ability to accelerate downstream processes across their organization.”
