The software is able to automatically process both structured and unstructured documents by not just deciphering numeric and alphabetic scripts but also longhand writing.

Currently, N.I.Te is in the advanced stages of developing a software called HandBiblio for indexing handwritten documents in digital archives that can be retrieved seamlessly through a simple search. The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. “Similar to a search engine, the software can provide relevant matches to a keyword from within a digital archive,” explains Santoro. Like any other N.I.Te product, even HandBiblio can learn from a reduced dataset sample and obtain results in a short amount of time. This software is particularly recommended for libraries, legal firms, private companies, and academic institutions that need to manage their digital heritage.

Today, various industries— including banking, insurance, and the postal sector to name a few— are riding on N.I.Te’s coat tails to successfully transcribe handwritten text or search for specific elements in their documents. Among the various clients that have benefitted from N.I.Te’s solutions, Santoro mentions the case of a Switzerland-based postal automation company that was able to enhance their existing order processing process with N.I.Te’s automatic document processing technology. With the help of N.I.Te, the company was able to recognize and analyse handwritten text and images accurately, eliminating the need for manual intervention. This solution was used to extract handwritten addresses on parcels and other shipping items so that it could be dispatched quicker.



N.I.Te, by far, has the most advanced reading analysis software. Along with new products in the development pipeline, the company also plans to expand its reach in the European region and eventually capture the global market by partnering with software system integrators and resellers. Santoro believes that N.I.Te’s competitive advantage lies in offering highly-scalable solutions that can also be implemented in a short amount of time and are capable of seamlessly integrating with a client’s existing system. Dedicated to innovation, N.I.Te’s vision is to make the knowledge contained in handwritten documents across the world available and searchable through a digital system.
