The acronym OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. Before knowing what optical character recognition is, it is necessary to break down its acronyms so that you better understand what it refers to, like this:
O: Optical
People use their eyes and brain connections to recognize images and read documents. Nevertheless, computers use a scanner camera to recognize documents and images, considering them a simple set of pixels.
C: Characters
Characters are units of information that correspond to symbols or graphemes. In other words, they are the compositions of pixels, curves, and lines that form the written digits and the letters that we use in the alphabet.
R: Recognition
Character recognition takes place after the optical scanner digitizes the image.
To improve the process of KYC the manual job of feeding the data to any system needs to be automated. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology involves converting all the information on any ID into text which can then be used for input and information validation. Here the ID document is the first photo scanned, analyzed, and finally translated into character codes. This machine-encoded text can then be used to validate the information against a genuine verification source. This helps in the verification of the National IDs containing numbers, addresses, names, and various other parameters almost instantly.
Benefits of using OCR technology for National ID Verification
Time Efficient: Through automated data capturing and automated document classification, OCR eliminates the need for manually entering details on every form or HR Portal. This makes the process of employee identity verification faster
Cost Efficient: OCR reduces the need for manual labor in data entry, document sorting, and filing, saving costs of labor as well as raw material needed for physical verification
Higher Accuracy and Improved Service: By reducing human intervention, OCR also reduces the chances of manual errors. This in turn ensures that employees have access to accurate and reliable information, whenever needed.
Storage Space and Data Security: The data inputted via OCR can be stored on servers which reduces the cost of maintaining physical files. More importantly, it enables enhanced data security of the private information of candidates as the access to information is controlled with only a need-to-know basis.
