FormFix is a comprehensive software development kit designed to streamline the creation of robust forms processing applications. It offers advanced capabilities such as form recognition, registration, dropout, image cleanup, and optical mark recognition . FormFix is engineered for high-volume, structured forms processing and has been utilized in significant data capture projects, including the Decennial Census.
Key Features and Functionality:
- Form Recognition and Registration: Accurately identifies and aligns incoming scanned forms with master templates, even when images are skewed, rotated, or scaled differently.
- Form Dropout: Removes template elements from scanned forms, leaving only the filled data, which enhances the accuracy of OCR, ICR, and OMR processes.
- Image Cleanup: Includes tools for deskewing, despeckling, line removal, and character smoothing to improve the quality of scanned images.
- Optical Mark Recognition : Detects and processes check marks or bubble marks within forms, supporting both single and multiple mark recognition.
- Flexible API: Provides an API for setting up fields, form templates, and form sets, allowing for easy customization and integration into existing systems.
Primary Value and User Solutions:
FormFix addresses the challenges associated with processing large volumes of structured forms by automating the identification, alignment, and data extraction processes. This automation reduces manual data entry errors, increases processing speed, and enhances overall data accuracy. By integrating FormFix, organizations can efficiently handle diverse forms, improve workflow efficiency, and ensure high-quality data capture, making it an invaluable tool for industries reliant on accurate and rapid forms processing.
