Jinbay Co., Ltd. announced that its generative AI-type AI-OCR 'GenOCR' has been used in multiple in-house operations at Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and produced results. The verification, part of the Meet Hiroshima Open Accelerator 2025, showed high-precision reading of handwritten forms, compatibility with drawings and numerical forms, and intuitive operation via Japanese prompts. Staff feedback was positive, with no concerns about difficulty. The initiative aims to build a frontline-led DX culture.
The GenOCR tool was selected from about 20 proposals in the 2025 accelerator program, and verification began in 2026. During the trials, the city's DX Promotion Division took the lead, prioritizing areas with fewer constraints to build a track record. The results include accurate reading of handwritten forms with circles that overflowed the checkbox, and the ability to handle architectural drawings and numerical forms. The system uses everyday Japanese prompts, which surprised staff and allowed non-experts to use it. The city plans to use these insights to further integrate paper and digital processes.
