Captricity
Acquired by SS&C (SSNC)Captricity is an AI that reads any text, including cursive handwriting, better than people can. The idea for Captricity came from my graduate research in rural health clinics in Uganda and Tanzania. There, I helped find patients “lost” to HIV treatment, and helped community health workers to count danger signs -- both tasks were mired in paper forms. Being a data guy, I saw that the problem wasn't paper, but access and usage of data. From that perspective, we built Shreddr, a data-driven, crowd-guided machine learning engine that reads handwriting. Our hypothesis was that order of magnitude better data extraction would mean better analysis, efficiency and knowledge in organizations and industries that span the spectrum from healthcare and government to logistics and operations.Captricity has grown beyond these early roots into an enterprise-class, cloud-based data capture platform that serves customers in a wide range of industries worldwide. While our technology has evolved, our larger goal has remained the same: Our mission is to democratize data access for organizations that serve everyone.
