# Revolutionize Your Workflow with Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)
by [Praveen Gundala](https://www.findernest.com/en/blog/author/praveen-gundala)
6 October 2024, 9:29:01 pm IST
Learn how Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) can transform your workflow by automating and enhancing tasks related to documents. IDP is a technology that extracts and organizes data from documents to drive business process automation. It integrates optical character recognition (OCR) with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms to streamline the processing of complex documents in various formats. Unlike conventional OCR solutions, IDP not only identifies and extracts text from documents but also comprehends the context and meaning of the information.
## Unpacking Intelligent Document Processing: The Basics
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) utilizes advanced technologies like [Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)](https://www.findernest.com/ai) to automate document handling. This process includes data extraction, content comprehension, and decision-making based on the information within the documents.
IDP automates manual data entry from paper documents or images to seamlessly integrate with digital business processes. For instance, in a workflow that automatically places orders with suppliers when inventory is low, no shipment occurs until payment is confirmed. Typically, the supplier sends an invoice via email, and the accounts team manually inputs the data before processing payment, which can introduce delays or errors. IDP systems, however, automatically extract invoice details and input them into the accounting software in the necessary format. Document processing can automate management tasks by leveraging machine learning (ML) and various AI technologies.
[IDP surpasses traditional Optical Character Recognition (OCR) by integrating Natural language processing (NLP) and other AI methods](https://www.findernest.com/en/blog/how-automated-data-collection-enhances-decision-making)to grasp context and semantics, resulting in more precise data extraction and categorization.
## What are the technologies used in intelligent document processing?
IDP uses a range of technologies to process different kinds of documents.
### **Optical character recognition (OCR)**
Optical character recognition (OCR) converts an image of text into a machine-readable text format. You can use OCR to scan paper documents and convert them into images with searchable text data. OCR is vital to document processing because it converts paper forms, receipts, invoices, contracts, legal documents, and more into digitized documents.
#### There are several types of OCR, each of which has different applications:
- Simple OCR software uses matching algorithms to compare text images to text and font image pattern templates
- Intelligent character recognition (ICR) software uses ML software to process different image attributes, like curves and lines, to process text
- Intelligent word recognition uses principles similar to ICR but focuses on processing entire words instead of working on individual characters
- Optical mark recognition uses a matching algorithm to identify text systems, logos, and watermarks
### **Natural language processing (NLP)**
NLP is an ML technology that enables computers to analyze, interpret, and understand human language. NLP software processes text and voice data to analyze the sentiment, content, or intent. NLP uses a range of technologies—including ML, computational linguistics, and deep learning models—to process human language. The following are some of these technologies:
- Computational linguistics involves semantic and syntactic analysis to create frameworks that capture the essence of human language
- ML technology enables NLP models to improve their understanding of metaphors, sentence structure changes, grammar, colloquialisms, sarcasm, and other elements of human speech
- Deep-learning neural networks enable computers to recognize, classify, and identify complex patterns in sample data
NLP is especially useful when working with unstructured documents and unstructured data, like live recordings or human speech.
### **Robotic process automation (RPA)**
Robotic process automation (RPA) is a form of technology that facilitates the building and deployment of software that automates human actions. You can automate business workflows with RPA software. For example, a user can record how they process a document. The RPA software then repeats the same steps, eliminating the need for manual document processing work. You can use RPA to automate any process, from data extraction to data capture and more.
## How does intelligent document processing work?
Data is at the heart of digital transformation, yet most business data is inaccessible, embedded in documents, emails, images, and PDFs. AI document processing makes any data accessible for business processing by converting unstructured and semi-structured documents into usable information to fuel automating document-centric business processes. IDP uses AI technologies such as natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, machine learning (ML), and generative AI to classify, categorize, and extract relevant information, as well as validate the extracted data. IDP tools are completely non-invasive, integration-friendly, and work seamlessly with Intelligent Automation to power digital operations.
### Pre-Processing
The first step in intelligent document processing is pre-processing. This step involves binarization, noise reduction, de-skewing, and de-speckling. These techniques help to improve the quality of the document images before they are processed by OCR and AI algorithms. This ensures that the data extracted is as accurate as possible, minimizing errors in downstream processes.
### Intelligent Document Classification
The next step is intelligent document classification. This step involves NLP, unsupervised and supervised learning, OCR, and Google Vision to classify documents based on their type and content. This allows for more efficient routing of documents to the appropriate processing workflows. To decipher difficult content, intelligent character recognition (ICR) takes OCR to the next level, applying AI to better identify glyphs and other textual elements that are difficult to read.
### Data Extraction
The third step is data extraction, where AI algorithms are used to extract relevant data from the classified documents. This can include text, numeric values, and even images or signatures. Extraction employs NLP, deep learning, machine learning, OCR, and Google Vision.
### Domain Specific Validation
The fourth step is domain-specific validation, accomplished by applying fuzzy logic, regular expression (RegEx), rules, and scripts to assess, match, and manage the extracted data for accuracy and relevance to the specific industry or business context. Additionally, enhanced validation with robotic process automation (RPA) can further verify the extracted data for suitability to the prescribed purpose or process.
### Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Validation
Human-in-the-loop (HITL) validation is another component of IDP that increases the quality of automated data processing. HITL validation uses supervised learning to provide a rapid feedback loop and fine-tune AI training by correcting data via human input.
## Applying IDP with Intelligent Automation
Automation is limited by the availability of data to work with. In typical RPA-driven automation systems, initiating data extraction for automation often requires a separate third-party project, which can incur additional costs and create fragile integration points.
Efficient data extraction and organization are key to automating the majority of business processes that currently depend on manual effort and intervention. By integrating intelligent document processing into a comprehensive Intelligent Automation platform, businesses can achieve full end-to-end process automation. When IDP and Intelligent Automation are combined within the same platform, the essential components of the automation system work together seamlessly.
