What is AI-powered Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and how does it benefit invoice processing?

AI-powered OCR extracts and digitizes key invoice details—like vendor names, invoice numbers, and line item detail—without manual entry.

Centime’s AI+OCR automates invoice capture, speeds up processing, and ensures data is validated, helping AP teams eliminate tedious tasks and prevent mistakes.

What types of invoice formats and file types are compatible with Centime's OCR system?

We currently support pdf, csv, xlsx, and common image formats.

How does Centime ensure the accuracy of data extracted through its AI-powered OCR?

Our system learns with every invoice it processes, improving overtime even on challenging/unusual formats. And while all data capture occurs in real time, we have a human in the loop process to monitor accuracy and address any inaccuracies.
