Often, manual data entry is the solution of choice over a fully automated “scan to database” process. Manually extracting and re-importing data from documents is not only time consuming but also error prone. A small error can lead to larger calculation errors and wrong results in the database. Manual data entry can a valid solution if you are dealing with a low volume of documents or if your document does not follow a certain layout structure.
