What changes when it is professional services
We keep the original image attached to every extraction, so a reviewer can always check the source rather than trusting the transcription.
In professional services, every hour spent on internal documentation is an hour not billed. 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 timesheet narrative generation, usually integrated against document management. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector
Will it replace junior staff?
It changes what juniors spend time on, less document assembly, more analysis and client contact. Firms that use it well accelerate development rather than cutting headcount.
Is client data safe across engagements?
Strict tenancy separation per client, with no cross-engagement retrieval. That is a professional obligation before it is a technical one.
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.
