ChequeReader

Cheque Processing Engine

'ChequeReader', an Image Analyzer and Intelligent Recognition Software deals with financial instruments like Cheques, Demand Drafts, etc.

In Banking Industry millions of cheques are manually processed every day. Even after CTS implementation, banks are doing manual data entry work for cheque processing, which is time-consuming and error-prone. As per the Central Bank's requirement, cheques should be processed and submitted in specified period of time every day. To meet this stringent deadline, in many banks, people are working overnight for cheques' manual data entry work.

Due to the different styles of handwritten characters, digitalizing cheque information can be very challenging. But not enough for 'SoftTact Technologies', who built software for a client to enable him to do just that: detect different handwriting as well as printed cheque information and transmit all this data to the bank.

UV Logo Detection & Verification

A bank's logo plays very crucial role in verifying the originality of the cheque. These logos (usually that of the issuing bank) is printed across sensitive areas of the cheque or in specified locations. The UV Logo algorithm identifies bank logos printed onto cheques, saves countless hours over manual cheque fraud detection methods and hence proves the originality of the cheque.
