Intelligent Forms Field Extractor (Scan for Fields)

Modified on Wed, Oct 2 at 2:19 PM

Getting PDFs, documents, and forms filled just got easier. Docubee can be used to automatically scan, assign a user to each field, and designate what type of field has been placed on a PDF, form, or document. Supported field types include signature, initial, date, text box, and checkbox.  Its Scan for Fields function utilizes document recognition and artificial intelligence to identify fields, labels, and field types on an uploaded document form. Set up new forms effortlessly with a single click. This can be particularly useful for large, multi-page documents like job applications, onboarding packets, and patient intake forms. Users have the option to scan a document that they will be signing themselves, or to scan and send it to others in their workflow.
