Hi There, In the ABBYY Vantage/FC OCR tool you have an option called Classify. This helps to classify the document based on the type of the document automatically before we can send it to the Extraction stage. We can also integrate ABBYY with RPA tools like UiPath, Blue Prism, etc.

RPA tool is the first choice as I experienced UiPath. Other than that, multiple options are available in the market but OpenText could be a choice. Both can cover your non-standard.
There are a number of options to get these kinds of documents scanned and categorized. Among them are use of stand-alone OCR technology (Tesseract or Google Cloud Vision, for example) or implementing an RPA tool with bots to handle the process. Either can be done in-house or, if you don't have the time/resources/expertise among your staff, by a consultant.
The route you take will depend on things like budget (of course), volume of documents, how fast and how often you need the work done, and the availability of your staff to do or oversee the process. Either track will require a learning curve, both require some knowledge and training, and standalone OCR will likely require notably more coding expertise.
In either case the starting point is to gather examples of all the docs you are going to need scanned and determine how they should be categorized and whether there is any data within them you need categorized.
Next, whether you go with standalone OCR or RPA bots, the tools are going to have to be trained to recognize the text in docs and, in the case of RPA, to know what to do with it. OCR can identify text within an image, and convert it to machine-readable text and then you'll need a system to categorize it. RPA can do both.
The last stage is evaluating the accuracy of the scans and the classification process and, often, adjusting the process to increase accuracy before it is validated as "working". Even then, you will want to monitor the results.
