## Overview
Fujifilm Business Innovation Corp. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Naoki Hama) will enhance its 'ApeosPlus desola Technology by AI inside' (hereafter, ApeosPlus desola) cloud service, which optimizes form processing and data entry through AI-OCR, by incorporating generative AI. These new features will be available starting May 21.
## Background
Business documents such as purchase orders, quotes, and invoices differ in layout and field naming for every client. Traditionally, this required specifying reading positions for each form, necessitating frequent adjustments when forms changed. Additionally, variations in terminology for identical fields (e.g., 'Total' vs. 'Invoice Total') created significant administrative burdens.
## New Capabilities
With this update, generative AI analyzes the structure and context of the entire document, interpreting fields by 'meaning' rather than 'location.' This eliminates the need for manual position specification, allowing for data extraction simply by designating field names as keywords. This significantly improves efficiency for non-standard forms.
'ApeosPlus desola' is a cloud service provided in technical collaboration with AI inside Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Taku Toguchi), utilizing the company's high-precision AI-OCR technology.
### Key Features
1. Keyword-based extraction for non-standard forms via Generative AI
Generative AI reads the entire document to understand the context of each field, enabling extraction from varied layouts without manual position settings. It also automatically identifies and reconciles naming variations. Users can also set conditions based on font or background colors to further enhance accuracy.
2. Seven form templates provided
Templates for quotes, purchase orders, delivery notes, invoices, receipts, mill sheets, and drawings are included with pre-set keywords for immediate use.
3. Specialized interface for明細 review
Provides a dedicated screen for efficient review and correction of extracted line-item data.
4. Support for DocuWorks annotations
Now supports reading annotations such as sticky notes and stamps added to 'DocuWorks' documents.
## Pricing Plans
Two plans are available: the 'ApeosPlus desola Basic Service' for high-volume processing and the 'ApeosPlus desola Lite' for smaller volumes. Existing customers can access these new features at no additional cost.
