Papyrus FreeForm is a software module for automated recognition of scanned but unsorted business documents of unknown structure and layout. The system also recognises unstructured or poorly structured documents with great reliability and is suited for processing any kind of business documents, such as commercial invoices, delivery notes, order forms, job applications, and much more. FreeForm is based on the latest methods in pattern recognition and represents the most current standards in the fields of print analysis (OCR, ICR, Voting), associative databases, fuzzy logic and neural networks.

Mode of function
The Option FreeForm module extracts from a document image the name of the document class and the field data that have been defined for this class. The concept allows for an N:M relationship between images and documents: a document can stretch over one or more pages, and likewise an image can contain several documents - similar to the way a newspaper page contains several articles.
