What changes when it is banking

We keep the original image attached to every extraction, so a reviewer can always check the source rather than trusting the transcription.

In banking, core banking systems are not to be touched, so everything integrates around them. That single fact reshapes how ocr & handwriting recognition has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is branch reporting, usually integrated against Finacle. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector

Will this touch our core banking system?

No. We integrate through supported interfaces and read replicas, never by modifying the core.

How do you handle AML false positives?

Context enrichment and tuned scoring so alert volume matches investigator capacity, with every decision explainable in a case file.

Does it handle Indian languages?

Yes, Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi and Odia among others. Accuracy varies by script and scan quality, and we measure it on your material rather than quoting a brochure figure.

How accurate is handwriting recognition?

Highly variable. Neat, consistent handwriting reads well; mixed or cursive is much harder. We run a sample first and tell you honestly whether it is viable.

Can you process our physical archive?

Yes, working with scanning partners for the physical capture and handling the digitisation and structuring end.

Tell us the workload and the regulation it sits under. We will tell you what is realistic.
