INUVIO Announces Revolutionary Card Scanning OCR Solution New Patent Pending Local Templating

Resolves Traditional Card Scanning OCR Template Issue

INUVIO announces the development of a revolutionary new product that resolves the traditional template issue with all card scanning OCR (Optical Character Recognition) solutions on the market recently. This new product is called ScanOCR and it includes INUVIO’s exclusive, patent pending Local Templating functionality. ScanOCR doesn’t image information like text, but “reads” it and provides editable data to other computer applications. The data can be used to auto-populate fields in PM (Practice Management), EHR (Electronic Health Record), or any other document management software or database. Our unique patent pending Local Templating functionality resolves the traditional template issue with all such OCR solutions. For OCR to work the software must know the difference between the various words on a scanned card or document and what do with them. For example which group of letters or “word” is a name versus a street versus a city, etc. To do this OCR applications use maps or “templates” of known cards which layout the locations of important information. When cards change and templates don’t exist, OCR doesn’t work.

"Our patent pending Local Templating offers the first solution to the problem of constantly changing driver’s license and insurance cards. Our product allows you to quickly and easily match fields and create a map or “template” of any unknown or new card or document. Once a new template is created that item will OCR without issue going forward. You only have to template it the first time you see it. It’s truly revolutionary”, explained Dr. Daniel J. Moulton, Founder and CEO, INUVIO.

INUVIO’s ScanOCR with patent pending Local Templating functionality features the ability to template and OCR any card or document, anytime, anywhere! It allows end users to match fields on any scanned item and third-party software integrators to create custom data fields and custom document types as needed. ScanOCR reads medical and ID cards, forms, receipts, business cards, passports, checks, and just about any scanned document. This unique application reads and transfers information on insurance cards such as ID number, group number, copay, dates, deductible, etc. and items such as name, address, date of birth, height, weight, sex, race, and more from driver’s licenses. ScanOCR can also read and transfer custom “integrator-defined” fields from cards or any custom “integrator-defined” document type you choose from medical forms to financial instruments to security credentials. This powerful software takes information and auto-populates data fields in Practice Management (PM), EHR (Electronic Health Record), CRM (Customer Relation Management), or any other database or document management system. ScanOCR increases operational efficiency, reimbursement rates, overall cash flow, and helps meet “Meaningful Use” requirements. ScanOCR supports Windows XP, Server, Vista, and 7 (32/64 Bit) systems and is patent pending under U.S. Patent Application No. 61/617,829.

“With our powerful and revolutionary ScanOCR with patent pending Local Templating functionality end users can template and OCR any card or document, anytime, anywhere! Now third-party software integrators can not only create custom templates but also “integrator-defined” fields and document types. The flexibility and potential of this product is unmatched in the market today. This is not a standalone product and it requires software integration with one of our PM, EHR or other third-party system partners”, stated David Miller, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, INUVIO.

INUVIO is proud to have partnered and integrated our technology with some of the largest IT solutions providers and enterprise systems such as PM (Practice Management), EHR (Electronic Health Records), CRM (Customer Relations Managment) and others in the world. Our partners are integrators, developers, and resellers from around the globe. The integration of our SDK (Software Development Kit) with their software applications creates a powerful imaging and data capture solution that recognizes, translates and transfers information accurately and efficiently. In fact, joint IT development is one of our specialties. We maintain a full integration engineering staff in house. Third-party software clients can scan cards and documents and automatically capture customer images and data (such as name, address, numbers, ID number, group number, copay, and more) to modify or create the customer’s profile in their software application. They can also modify an existing profile through scanning an ID card and capturing demographic data (such as height, weight, race, eye and hair color and more). If data isn’t automatically captured, there is a simple drag and drop option to eliminate the necessary keystrokes and unintended transposition errors of manual data entry.

Our partners have the choice of integrating our powerful software products such as ScanSharp, ScanOCR, ScanSign and others into their applications or we can do it for them. It’s up to them. We are always available to help our partners. We know that the foundation of any great partnership is integrity, trust, and mutually beneficial results. We only succeed when our partners do. Our products exist to increase competitive functionality and overall profitability for our partners.
