Performs well on handwritten text and on checkboxes; lacks sufficient language options
We use this product to help our internal teams automate in areas such as claims automation using intelligent document processing. It deals with handwritten documentation. We are partners with HyperScience and I'm a data science manager.  The product performs well on handwritten text and on…

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection
My use case for the product is in the finance domain.  You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it.  The product should improve desktop automation, which is hard to configure. It needs to have…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It provides the best accuracy for handwritten forms, which is a struggle in the industry. You can take processes with a lot of manual work and streamline them through this tool."
"What I liked more about HyperScience was the quality of the OCR it is a lot better compared to Google."
"I like that compared to other tools, HyperScience works best with handwritten documents."
"We have seen pretty good accuracy."
"One of the most valuable features of HyperScience is the user-training module. Whenever the extraction takes place, based on the way we have trained HyperScience, it would give us some success status or a certain confidence level. If the solution has processed something that it determined was not extracted correctly it will queue those items for manual review."
"Has algorithms that can detect a document template even if the image has a lot of distortions."
"Valuable features include tools like IQ Bot and the ability to extract handwritten documents with 93-95 per cent accuracy."
"The product saves time and resources."
"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low."
"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."
"The best part of Kofax is that they have a whole concept. It's one product, but also has extra elements that can be integrated."
"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
 

Cons

"The solution lacks support for a greater range of languages."
"The product's usability could be better. The first pain point is that we're getting the output in a different format, and we were expecting a different timetable. The second point is that if you want better results, HyperScience says you have to configure a minimal PDF or a maximum of 400 PDFs. If you want results with 400 PDFs for what's written by these doctors, then you also configure the maximum of 400 templates for that. So, it's essentially a lack of support from HyperScience. In the next release, it would be better if failure scenarios were reduced. It would also help if they offered different formats, inputs or injections, and added different scenarios."
"Extracting tables from certain documents could be improved."
"No solution is perfect and there are several different scenarios that could be improved in HyperScience. One area is where there are multiple tables in the same form I have seen HyperScience struggle. There is some issue with supporting the extraction from multiple tables involved on the same form. If this could improve, it would be a big benefit."
"HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form. They need to develop this capability."
"They could work on the price and make it a bit more reasonable."
"HyperScience could improve the unstructured data extraction feature."
"The product has some constraints and performance issues."
"The product should improve desktop automation, which is hard to configure. It needs to have custom connectors. It is the only advantage that Microsoft Power Platform has over Kofax RPA. It has more than 800 custom connectors."
"It needs a free training portal for anybody on the internet to use so that they can get an idea of what the possibilities are."
"The process discovery could be a bit better."
"Exception handling needs to be improved."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."
"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any idea about the licensing costs, but I know that there was a per-page charge. They had different models of pricing. One of them was based on the minimum number of pages, and we had a fixed price. So, the price model depends on the volume that is coming through HyperScience."
"I think HyperScience is cheaper when compared to other tools. They also have a lifetime licensing option."
"I don't have complete insight at this point in time, but I would guess that Kofax is a lot less expensive than Automation Anywhere. I would expect its license to be on a yearly basis."
"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
"Its pricing is reasonable given the product capabilities. Kofax has a wide range of products, and it can sometimes be confusing to understand which capabilities come with which product set. One of the key facets that we've been looking into recently is cognitive document recognition that was a core pile of some of their other technologies such as Kofax transformation modules (KTM)."
"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
