Generative AI-based AI-OCR 'GenOCR' Now Supports Smartphone Scanning

Jinbay Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, CEO: Eisuke Ueda) is pleased to announce the addition of a new feature to its generative AI-based AI-OCR 'GenOCR', which enables on-the-spot reading and digitization of documents captured by smartphones.

▼Background and Challenges Traditionally, the process of digitizing documents involved 'taking paper documents back to the office, scanning them on a PC, and importing them.' However, this method meant that documents received while out of the office or at a worksite could not be processed until returning to the office, leading to a time lag in digitization. This posed challenges in terms of both effort and speed, especially for needs requiring immediate handling of 'paper documents on hand,' such as quotations received at client sites, work reports filled out in the field, or delivery slips received at stores.

▼Solution (Newly Released Feature) With this new feature, simply by taking a photo of the document with a smartphone camera, GenOCR will read and digitize it on the spot. No dedicated app installation is required; it can be used directly from the smartphone's browser. The captured images are processed by GenOCR's high-precision reading engine, the same as before, and support for non-standard forms and handwritten text is included. The results are the same as when captured on a PC, regardless of location.

▼Expected Benefits Reduced digitization time: No need to return to the office; digitization is completed on the spot upon receipt. Immediate response at field/on the go: Document processing is possible even in environments without a PC, such as client sites or work locations. No scanner required: Operable with just a smartphone, without the need for multifunction printers or scanners. Low implementation hurdle: Since no dedicated app is needed and it can be used via a browser, field staff can start using it immediately.

▼Usage Scenarios and Use Cases Sales and Field Sales Digitize quotations and purchase orders received at client sites by taking photos on the spot. Proceed to the next action without waiting to return to the office.

On-site Operations in Construction, Manufacturing, etc. Import work reports and inspection records filled out at the site via smartphone. Reduces the risk of losing paper documents.

Stores and Retail Digitize delivery slips and invoices received at the store immediately near the register, without returning to the back office.

Business Trips and Remote Work Process documents on hand via smartphone even when not in the office. Supports flexible work styles unbound by location.

Jinbay will continue to enhance GenOCR's functionality, aiming to be a generative AI-OCR that is not only 'highly accurate in reading' but also safe and reliable for business use.
