Abstract

Although the Internet is increasingly emerging as “the” widespread platform for information interchange, day-to-day work in companies still necessitates the laborious, manual processing of huge amounts of printed documents. This article presents the system smartFIX, a document analysis and understanding system developed by the DFKI spin-off insiders technologies. It enables the automatic processing of documents ranging from fixed format forms to unstructured letters of any format. In addition to the architecture, main components, and system characteristics, we also show some results from the application of smartFIX to medical bills and prescriptions.
