The range of potential applications is huge: you can accurately extract handwriting found in medical forms, contracts, meeting minutes, work orders, and many other documents. Let’s take a closer look at a few common use cases.
3 Use Cases of Converting Handwriting to Text
Across all industries, there is a lot of information written by hand that people need to record in a digital system. So it makes perfect sense for handwriting recognition software to become more and more popular.
1. Capture medical information
In healthcare institutions, many documents contain handwritten information: lab results, patient intake forms, doctor notes, medical prescriptions… and that information needs to be entered into an EHR system. Plus, the handwriting of doctors is notoriously challenging to recognize for humans and machines alike. Fortunately, handwriting recognition software has evolved a lot in recent years.
By capturing all patient information, including handwriting, healthcare professionals can process large volumes of medical records without delays and avoid mistakes that could negatively impact patient care. As time goes on, handwriting recognition will keep improving and become more and more relied upon in the medical field.
2. Digitize historical documents
Handwriting recognition is a boon for professionals who need to digitize historical documents. Archives, libraries, museums, government agencies, universities, and cultural heritage organizations often work with handwritten materials that need to be preserved and made searchable.
The thing is, physical documents require space and cost money to preserve. Moreover, they might get lost over time due to deterioration or incidents such as fires. So it’s important to digitize them to keep them safe. Converting handwriting to text helps preserve valuable historical information and makes it accessible in a digital format without countless hours of manual transcription.
3. Convert shipment information forms to structured data
Handwritten forms are very common in the logistics industry. Between POD (Proof Of Delivery) forms, shipping and delivery notes, bills of landing, maintenance logs, etc… There is a lot of important information that is typically filled out by hand. So it makes sense to turn to AI-powered solutions to increase both operational efficiency and data accuracy.
Businesses that invest in automation improve their ability to process large volumes of documents without errors. The right solution will capture all essential information (shipment number, shipper and consignee details, goods description, dates, addresses, freight charges, etc.) whether it’s printed or handwritten. As a result, operational costs go down, shipment tracking gets easier, and even compliance with shipping regulations improves.
Whether you operate in one of these industries or a different one, you have a lot to gain from a tool that converts your handwritten information into a digital format that is accurate and structured. Docparser is a great choice — here’s why.
