However, in modern AP processes, documents and invoices from various sources come in many different formats. These invoices contain small details or even images. This is a limitation that OCR cannot handle, or if it does, it produces many errors.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For semi-structured data (containing both fixed and flexible elements) or unstructured data (free-form data like emails and notes), OCR lacks the capability to process and extract data.

This means that data extraction from invoices is not fully automated and is not 100% accurate. OCR can recognize text, but when dealing with low-quality image documents or complex formats, such as handwritten, multilingual texts, the error rate can increase significantly. Especially in Accounts Payable (AP) processes, information like account numbers, amounts, or dates is critical, and errors are unacceptable.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The limitations in accuracy after data extraction can lead to serious consequences.
