How does Lightyears data extraction differ from OCR?

Lightyear uses line item data extraction technology that works by reading the meta data behind PDF invoices. Basically, it's more accurate than OCR technology which can often confuse numbers or miss out decimal points, leading to error and costly mistakes. With Lightyears own data extraction technology, you can extract line item data with 100% accuracy and unparalleled speed. We're proud to offer an invoice recognition software that you can fully trust.
