LONGMONT, Colo., Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Parascript—a leading provider of innovative AI-powered solutions for document processing automation and fraud prevention applications, has filed a patent application for a cutting-edge method designed to revolutionize document forgery detection. This novel method leverages machine learning to analyze and verify handwriting with unparalleled accuracy, empowering organizations to combat fraud across diverse industries.

This groundbreaking technology encompasses a multifaceted approach involving the extraction and comparison of handwritten segments within documents such as checks and contracts. The method employs advanced deep learning neural network models and other trainable models to analyze segments of handwritten text to facilitate an accurate assessment of the probability that they originate from the same writer.

The versatility of the technology extends to various documents to further enhance its applicability. It allows for comparison within the same document or across different documents.

Key Features and Benefits

Highly Accurate Analysis: Leverages machine learning models trained on vast datasets of handwriting samples to identify subtle similarities and inconsistencies, even on meticulously crafted forgeries.
Versatility Across Documents: Analyzes handwriting in various fields within a single document or compares handwriting across different documents including checks, contracts, and more.
Enhanced Security: Provides organizations with powerful technology to combat fraud.

Broad Applications Across Industries

The method's value becomes particularly evident in its ability to detect checkwashing, a popular scam targeting mailed checks. Checkwashing is a common tactic where the payee and amount fields are altered for fraudulent deposit, leading to financial losses.

This forgery detection system holds significant potential for many industries, from guarding financial institutions against check fraud and financial document forgeries to ensuring the legitimacy of legal documents in government agencies.

"Parascript is committed to developing cutting-edge solutions that empower organizations to combat fraud and protect critical information," said Alexander Filatov, CEO of Parascript. "This new forgery detection technology represents a significant advancement in document security, offering exceptional accuracy and efficiency. We are confident that this innovation will be invaluable for organizations across various industries."
