Satender Sajwan - PeerSpot reviewer
Operations Manager at Genpact
Gave a better output every time, reduced our touch time by 80%, and had a robust reporting mechanism to improve the process
We tested HyperScience on structured formats of the forms, and it worked really well. We tested it with semi-structured formats, and it worked well. We also tested creating a new form that does not have any format. HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form. They need to develop this capability. Such a capability would make it a perfect system for processes like data entry, accounts tables, etc. Secondly, before putting the actual volume in the tool, I believe that we have to create a manual form every time. If the procedure of creating the forms can be shortened or automated, it would help. It would reduce the manual effort of creating a form every time you start working on it. There should be an automated form creation system that does not require any manual intervention. Whenever a new form comes, the system should be able to create a dummy form for that. That will help.
Gangadhar Wali - PeerSpot reviewer
Founder and COO at InVibes
Pre-trained models work well, but it is very expensive
We have to do manual validation for some of the things due to the OCR engine not being so accurate. For example, S is read as 5, 5 as S, 2 as Z, and Z as 2. In the case of currency, if one dot is missing, it gives a completely incorrect number. These discrepancies should be fixed because if the OCR itself doesn't work properly, then AI doesn't help with that. When AI is used for training models, the AI Center works precisely, but if the data itself is wrong, we can't do anything. If the extraction of data is proper, it definitely helps. However, 20% errors could be reduced if the OCR engine were better. In future updates, I would like to see better handling of issues such as when a dot is missing in currency, for example, with dollars, it should handle that automatically. It's very expensive. If the volume increases, we can't afford to use Document Understanding. We are thinking of moving to another solution because we are expecting 80,000 to 100,000 invoices.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Has algorithms that can detect a document template even if the image has a lot of distortions."
"I like that compared to other tools, HyperScience works best with handwritten documents."
"What I liked more about HyperScience was the quality of the OCR it is a lot better compared to Google."
"One of the most valuable features of HyperScience is the user-training module. Whenever the extraction takes place, based on the way we have trained HyperScience, it would give us some success status or a certain confidence level. If the solution has processed something that it determined was not extracted correctly it will queue those items for manual review."
"Valuable features include tools like IQ Bot and the ability to extract handwritten documents with 93-95 per cent accuracy, which can be improved using ML technology."
"For our use case, it provided a complete workflow, reduced our existing touch time by 80%, and from the point of view of technology, it is one of the leading platforms right now in the OCR world."
"If accuracy and customer satisfaction are your goals, then you should go for this solution."
"HyperScience is good for structured and semi-structured document extraction and it's easy to learn."
"With Document Understanding, tasks that would normally take eight hours manually can be completed in three to five hours. It still requires some human intervention, but 90 percent of the processing can be automated."
"One of the most valuable features is the intelligent recognition of the fields. The algorithm is able to recognize them based on the pattern. Also, the machine learning model enables you to use predefined solutions. The machine-learning capabilities of the solution are very cool."
"The machine learning (ML) extractor is valuable. It helps in extracting information from even unstructured documents. It can sometimes also extract information from a written document. Without much manual intervention, it is able to process the documents. This is a unique feature of UiPath Document Understanding."
"It's helped us free up time for other staff projects."
"It shortens the time of extracting data by 70 to 80%."
"The solution allows us to continue with vendors whose information comes in correctly and to stop the automation for vendors with many items that are not clearly defined."
"In UiPath Document Understanding, I use two extractors. One is the Intelligent Form Extractor and the other is the Machine Learning Extractor. The first one is very useful and user-friendly. When we have a single template or two to three templates, Intelligent Form Extractor is much easier to use. But if we have multiple templates, it's better to go with ML Extractor as you can train the model with different templates."
"We can integrate document understanding with other systems and applications."
 

Cons

"One area is where there are multiple tables in the same form I have seen HyperScience struggle."
"HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form."
"They could work on the price and make it a bit more reasonable."
"The product's usability could be better. The first pain point is that we're getting the output in a different format, and we were expecting a different timetable. The second point is that if you want better results, HyperScience says you have to configure a minimal PDF or a maximum of 400 PDFs. If you want results with 400 PDFs for what's written by these doctors, then you also configure the maximum of 400 templates for that. So, it's essentially a lack of support from HyperScience. In the next release, it would be better if failure scenarios were reduced. It would also help if they offered different formats, inputs or injections, and added different scenarios."
"No solution is perfect and there are several different scenarios that could be improved in HyperScience. One area is where there are multiple tables in the same form I have seen HyperScience struggle. There is some issue with supporting the extraction from multiple tables involved on the same form. If this could improve, it would be a big benefit."
"The solution lacks support for a variety of languages."
"HyperScience could improve the unstructured data extraction feature."
"The solution is expensive."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"An area for improvement in UiPath Document Understanding is data extraction from scanned documents. It could be better because I've observed a ten percent failure or flaw whenever the vendor scans and converts documents into PDFs."
"Making the design of Forms AI more flexible and accommodating to companies' branding preferences would be beneficial."
"They could work on the digitizing and classification of documents."
"UiPath Document Understanding can improve its handwriting and signature recognition."
"There is room for improvement in UiPath Document Understanding's pricing. It is expensive for small clients. Currently, there is a big gap between the basic package and the 200,000 packages. There is no package in the middle for small agencies."
"Right now, we are trying to use Instabase, which is another tool for document understanding. It may be one step ahead. It is faster than UiPath."
"Its pricing can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think HyperScience is cheaper when compared to other tools. They also have a lifetime licensing option."
"I don't have any idea about the licensing costs, but I know that there was a per-page charge. They had different models of pricing. One of them was based on the minimum number of pages, and we had a fixed price. So, the price model depends on the volume that is coming through HyperScience."
"I find the pricing to be somewhat on the higher side."
"The price for UiPath Document Understanding is a bit expensive."
"It is expensive. The license cost for UiPath Studio has risen to around 3.5 lakhs last year, and I am uncertain how much the increase will be this year. They have also increased the bot prices."
"I do not know about its price, but for large organizations, UiPath is cheap, whereas, for small organizations, UiPath is high. For example, if 500 licenses are needed for one company, UiPath is cheap. If only 5 licenses are required, UiPath is costly."
"UiPath is a pricey tool for small customers."
"It's expensive, but you can reduce the price per license by getting more licenses. Overall, the pricing is okay."
"UiPath Document Understanding is priced high compared to its competition."
"The solution’s cost increases for machine learning or artificial intelligence because we have to go for UiPath Orchestrator."
