Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatus, and non-transitory media are described for submitting an insurance claim. The described techniques include receiving one or more forms (and/or remote electronic access to such) from an external computing device to facilitate filing of an insurance claim associated with a vehicular accident. The forms may include one or more data fields corresponding to data used to process an insurance claim. To fill in the insurance form data, the mobile computing device may capture of one or more images associated with the vehicular accident. One or more object recognition and/or optical character recognition (OCR) processes may be applied to the one or more images to extract image data, which may be used to populate one or more insurance claim form fields. Once completed, the insurance claim form may be sent to an insurer from the mobile computing device to facilitate submission of the insurance claim.
