A2iA Recognized as 'KMWorld Promise Award' Finalist Due to Innovation and Worldwide Achievements of A2iA DocumentReader™

Online, October 20, 2010 (Newswire.com) - A2iA, the worldwide leading developer of tools for handwritten and machine printed text recognition, information extraction and intelligent classification of paper documents, announced today it was named a KMWorld Promise Award finalist because of A2iA DocumentReader™'s innovation and worldwide achievements. A2iA DocumentReader is unique to the market and is proven to reduce costs and speed processing times by allowing users to automate a workflow that contains data ranging from machine print through to cursive handwriting on completely unstructured white mail or archives. This proprietary toolkit is also adept in locating, extracting and classifying complex data from columns or lists such as that commonly found within lockbox applications or EOB documents, reducing the manual labor typically associated with processing complex or unstructured documents.

"We are excited to see the worldwide success and adoption of A2iA DocumentReader," said Jean-Louis Fages, A2iA President & Chairman of the Board. "As a toolkit, users have the benefit of being able to customize their solutions to the needs of their users, such as declassification for the government, or to aid in providing meaningful use within EHR / EMR solutions in the medical space."

This is the fourth year that A2iA has been designated a KMWorld Promise Award finalist, a recognition given to organizations who deliver innovative technology solutions to their customers, who in turn see real-world successes in the areas of knowledge management and improved business processes.
