What changes when it is financial services

Indian-script OCR is genuinely harder than Latin, and accuracy varies by script and by scan quality. We measure on your documents and report the real number.

In financial services, every automated decision must be explainable and reproducible months after the fact. 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 regulatory report assembly, usually integrated against trading and OMS. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.

Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector

Can we use AI in credit decisions?

With explainability, documented model governance and human review on adverse outcomes, yes. RBI expects you to be able to explain any decision that affects a customer.

How do you handle data residency?

Deployment inside Indian regions or on your own infrastructure, which is the usual requirement for regulated financial data.

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.
