From everyday data entry to creation of invoices and updating related financial statements, accounting is a detailed oriented process by its nature.

OCR, which stands for optical character recognition. It is a technique for turning scanned images or documents, mobile uploaded invoices etc., into digital information. This means that it is used to scan your receipts, invoices, purchase orders, and other pertinent documents in the context of accounting.

Why 'Genieaz' is effective than the competitors out there?

This eliminates the cumbersome manual data entry in the accounting & bookkeeping process and helps you to work faster with a high level of accuracy.

It is understood that one of the biggest challenges for accountants is to keep up with the rapidly evolving technology. Even accounting software such as Quickbooks, XERO, Netsuite and many others has also evolved over the years, but it still requires manual entry of data up to a certain extent. This is mitigated by accountants by hiring many data entry workers or outsourcing to firms in offshore destinations.

While there are some data capturing programs, that can capture data from financial documents, these programs have various limitations and issues when it comes to;

• Training templates every time a new invoice or a document is submitted

• Poor customer service when it comes to training the data-capturing models.

• Discrepancies in pricing where users are overcharged and sometimes expensive pricing that limit affordability.
