Pain Points (Public)

Organizations accumulate physical paper records containing customer details, reference numbers, and unstructured remarks that need digital indexing, but standard automated OCR tools frequently misread alphanumeric codes and produce dirty data without strict line-by-line verification.

Suggested Approach (Public)

A structured document extraction and transcription pipeline that pairs layout-aware OCR with rule-based regex checks for identification codes, backed by secondary human verification to output cleaned, typed data directly into formatted Excel (.xlsx) workbooks.
