Data capture involves not only the scanning of paper but also the extraction of data from specific areas of the page. Using special software the data is automatically captured and uploaded to another IT system for processing. It is commonly used for large volumes of invoices or survey forms as it is a much more cost effective method of processing data than manual data inputting.
