Google introduces Document AI platform for document processing

Google Cloud announced the new Document AI (DocAI) platform, a unified console for document processing. Transforming documents into structured data increases the speed of decision making for companies, unlocking business value and helping develop better experiences for customers. Historically, doing this at scale hasn’t been efficient. DocAI is designed to help businesses use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to automate these processes. Today, the DocAI platform is available in preview, enabling you to:

  • Ensure your data is accurate and compliant: Automate and validate all your documents to streamline compliance workflows, reduce guesswork, and keep data accurate and compliant.
  • Make better business decisions: Improve operational efficiency by extracting structured data from unstructured documents and making that available to your business applications and users.
  • Use your data to meet customer expectations: Leverage insights to meet customer expectations and improve CSAT, advocacy, lifetime value, and spend.

With the new DocAI platform, you can access all parsers, tools and solutions (e.g. Lending DocAI, Procurement DocAI) with a unified API, enabling a document solution from evaluation to deployment. It allows creation and customization of document processing workflows. Data extraction is now easier because the specialized parsers on the platform are built with Google Cloud’s predefined taxonomy, without the need to perform additional data mapping or training. General parsers such as OCR (Optical Character Recognition), Form parser, and Document splitter are publicly accessible. You can also request access to specialized parsers such as W9, 1040, W2, 1099-MISC, 1003, invoice, and receipts.

Yottaa RAPID inSITE added to Episerver App Marketplace

Yottaa announced they are adding eCommerce acceleration as an application in the Episerver App Marketplace. Yottaa’s RAPID inSITE enables brands to gain visibility into how their website is currently performing and see how third-party technologies and other site elements are impacting page load time. Studies have shown that third parties account for up to 75% of site latency and that slow loading pages result in lower conversion. As an app for Episerver’s Commerce Cloud, RAPID inSITE helps meet business demand for faster performing eCommerce sites while also enabling brands to add a multitude of the third-party features that shoppers have come to expect without impacting site speed. Episerver tests each new application or add on for functionality, security and user-interface; ongoing support is held with Yottaa.

Language I/O releases machine translation tool

Language I/O announced their machine translation tool that aggregates results from the best machine translation engines on the market and then layers their own proprietary machine translation optimization on top. Their software provides machine translation across all languages for companies that are struggling to accurately translate industry jargon, newly invented slang, named entities such as a company’s product names, acronyms and other messy User Generated Content (UGC). When a customer opens a chat with a customer service agent, they’re often distracted or typing too quickly. This often leads to chats rife with spelling mistakes, jargon and acronyms. Language I/O’s machine translation optimizer takes the best machine translation engines on the market and teaches them to recognize and then correctly translate this messy content. The company says they maintain strict adherence to international security standards such as the ISO 27001 and GDPR. We also encrypt all personally identifiable information (PII).
