Market Dynamic

Key Drivers and Emerging Trends

OCR has been a long part of various verticals for automated processing of forms and other documents, wherein huge amount of data is available in printed form. Rapid digitalization in business organizations has made it possible and more efficient, which has led to the expansion of the market. The OCR technology is also being extensively used for transforming information available in text form into image, and other documents with the help of text-to-speech technologies and thus making it accessible visually impaired individuals.

Other applications of the technology include sorting out letters at post offices and documents in law firms and courts along with preserving historical and cultural texts, personal identification, and processing invoices, orders, and other documents. For instance, in July 2020, Jobvite, Inc., an end-to-end talent acquisition suite, acquired the data science and AI team at Predictive Partner. This acquisition is anticipated to leverage AI through natural language processing, machine learning, predictive analytics, and optical character recognition. Furthermore, the technology also finds increasing application in BFSI and the healthcare sectors for creating digital copies of checks, invoices, and other documents. For instance, in May 2019, Standard Chartered Bank launched an augmented intelligence document processing solution, called Trade AI Engine, developed in collaboration with IBM. This solution is developed to tackle the time-consuming process of unstructured traditional documentary review.

Restraint in the Optical Character Recognition Market

However, handwritten character recognition is very challenging for the industry, which is likely to hamper the growth of the market.
