Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I place the address on my document?
Place the address in the top-left area of your document, typically 4-5cm from the top and 2cm from the left edge. This is the standard position for windowed envelopes and our system is optimized to detect addresses in this location.
How accurate is the address extraction?
Our OCR technology is highly accurate for printed addresses. The system works best with clear, well-formatted addresses in standard fonts. You can review and correct any extracted addresses before sending.
What happens if an address can't be extracted?
If an address can't be automatically detected, you can manually enter it using our address input form. You'll be notified during the upload process if extraction wasn't successful.
Can I use this for international addresses?
Yes, the address extraction works for both UK and international addresses. The system can detect addresses in various formats for worldwide mailing.
Does this work with handwritten addresses?
Our OCR technology works best with printed addresses. Handwritten addresses may not be detected reliably. For best results, ensure addresses are typed or computer-generated on your documents.
Is there an extra cost for address extraction?
No, address extraction is included as a standard feature with all Intelliprint accounts at no additional cost.
