Summary
At Tokyo Techies, we are committed to developing tailored solutions that address our clients' unique challenges. This success story highlights our internal R&D project focused on creating a highly accurate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system for receipt data extraction.
The Case
We identified a need for a reliable and accurate system to extract information from receipts. Existing third-party tools did not meet our requirements, prompting us to develop our own in-house solution.
The Results
Our team developed a custom OCR model specifically designed for Japanese receipts. The development process involved:
- Data Collection and Labeling: We gathered and labeled a comprehensive dataset of receipts to train our model effectively.
- Custom Model Training: We trained a custom model to accurately read Japanese receipts.
- Proof of Concept (PoC) Development: We developed and released a fully functional PoC demonstrating the capabilities of our solution.
Impact:
Our custom OCR solution provides a robust and accurate method for extracting data from Japanese receipts. This technology has the potential to:
- Automate receipt processing, saving time and resources.
- Improve data accuracy compared to manual entry or existing OCR tools.
- Enable integration with various applications and systems.
