The original Smart Image Scan with ChatGPT feature allows NestForms to analyse an image and generate a written response based on a prompt. This works well when you want a general description or assessment of what appears in a photo.
NestForms now includes Structured AI Image Content Reading, which takes this a step further by allowing you to define specific questions and automatically store the answers in individual form fields.
Instead of generating a single block of text, you can create dedicated questions within your form and ask AI to populate each answer separately.
As well as generating a single block of descriptive text, you can create dedicated questions within your form and ask AI to populate each answer separately. This is useful for extracting structured information that contain specific data, such as receipts, invoices, business cards, utility bills, passports, driver's licences, certificates, signs, labels, handwritten notes, and other documents. It can also analyse photographs by answering specific questions such as "How many windows are visible?", "How many logs are stacked in this image?", "Estimate the square meterage of this room", or "Are there any visible safety hazards?" The answers are automatically written into separate form fields, creating structured and searchable data without manual data entry.
For example, when capturing an image of a receipt, you might ask:
- What is the total amount?
- Who issued the receipt?
- What is the receipt date?
- Itemise the purchased products.
When the responder takes a photo, NestForms sends the image to ChatGPT and automatically fills the related text fields with the requested information.
Structured Image Content Reading helps convert images into organised, searchable data while reducing manual data entry and improving consistency across responses.
