Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing feedback about an image of a financial document to a user, comprising: receiving a preview of a first image of the financial document from the user when the user is taking a picture of the financial document using an electronic device; in response to determining that the received preview of the financial document includes multiple financial documents with the same financial-document layout, providing a first real-time guidance to the user, wherein the first real-time guidance instructs the user on improving the first image of the document; receiving a second image of the financial document from the user, wherein the second image is an improved version of the first image of the document based on the first real-time guidance to the user; analyzing the second image to identify one or more areas in the second image that require further improvement based on a quality metric, wherein the quality metric is based on whether the image includes multiple financial documents with the same financial-document layout; and in response to the analysis, providing a feedback to the user, wherein the feedback provides a second real-time guidance to the user to zoom in on an area in the second image to provide an improved version of the second image, wherein the improved version of the second image includes a single financial document from the multiple financial documents.
