Abstract
A system and method for efficiently and securely converting physical documents, including handwritten reports, into structured data stored in databases is disclosed. The method includes extraction by a processor of electronic images or text from scanned physical documents and transmission of the extracted data by the processor to other devices for evaluation by data entry technicians. A candidate set of potential responses to a field may be provided to a data entry technician to enable the data entry technician to evaluate the extracted data. The candidate set may be generated based on responses extracted physical documents having the same author. Entries from different data fields of documents may be provided to different data entry technicians to reduce the amount of information provided to a data entry technician, thereby reducing security risks for documents containing confidential material.
