Extract handwritten invoice details while ensuring accuracy in numbers and names.
Extracting handwritten invoice details involves a few key steps to ensure accuracy and completeness. Here's a general guide on how to achieve this: 1. **Scan the Invoice**: - Use a high-quality scanner to capture the image of the handwritten invoice. Ensure the scan is clear and legible, using appropriate resolution settings. 2. **Use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Software**: - Utilize OCR software that supports handwritten text recognition. Popular options include Adobe Acrobat’s OCR feature, Google Cloud Vision API, or Microsoft Azure’s OCR services. - Load the scanned image into the software to convert the handwritten text into machine-encoded text. 3. **Review and Correct OCR Output**: - Carefully review the OCR output since handwritten text can often result in errors during conversion. - Manually correct any errors in names, numbers, and details that the OCR tool might have misread. 4. **Data Extraction**: - Identify and extract key details from the invoice such as: - **Invoice Number** - **Date** - **Biller's Name and Contact Information** - **Recipient's Name and Contact Information** - **Itemized List of Products/Services** - **Quantities and Unit Prices** - **Total Amount Due** - **Payment Terms** 5. **Verification**: - Cross-verify the extracted data with the physical invoice to ensure all details are accurately captured.
