What is an OCR Tool?
An OCR tool (Optical Character Recognition tool) is advanced software that converts various types of documents, including scanned paper documents, government-issued ID documents, PDF files, and digital images, into editable and searchable data. OCR technology detects text within digital images and transforms it into a machine-readable format, making data extraction quick and efficient.
How ZipID Leverages OCR for I-9 Compliance
ZipID uses powerful OCR technology to streamline Form I-9 compliance by automatically extracting information from the front of documents. This information is then used to autofill fields on the Form I-9, reducing manual entry errors and saving time. A manual verification step allows the user to confirm the extracted information’s accuracy before finalizing the form, ensuring data integrity and compliance with I-9 verification requirements.
