TMSSequoia Releases Breakthrough in Forms Extraction Performance With FormFix(R) 2.7 and is Awarded Patent
STILLWATER, Okla., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- TMSSequoia(TM) (OTC BB: TMSS) announced today the release of a new version of its powerful FormFix forms processing product. FormFix 2.7 is a sophisticated Windows and Unix-based forms processing developer toolkit that dramatically enhances the accuracy of OCR/ICR recognition of data in forms. The technological breakthroughs achieved in 2.7 are:
* A speedup of 41% for overall processing on easy forms and 100% on dense
forms.
* The forms extraction process is 100% to 500% faster!
* The ability to identify over 1,000 different types of forms in the same
set, introduced in 2.6, is now 30% faster in version 2.7.
* The Mark Sense recognition engine included is now 30% to 80% faster.
* FormFix 2.7 now will automatically detect and correct upside-down and
sideways scans with virtually 100% accuracy!

Registration, Data Extraction and Mark Sense recognition in about
.75 seconds on medium sized forms, and 1.9 seconds on a difficult dense
form like the HCFA. This is a major breakthrough for high volume
applications.
