Signature Snip
Working with signatures and verifying that a document is signed is always a key part of audit procedures however given that there is a mix of wet and e-signatures it can be complicated to actually understand if your document has been validated.
Signatures are never recognised by OCR given their "hieroglyphic" nature and therefore it is difficult for automated systems to recognise them.
With the signature snip, users could perform multiple actions:
- Apply an esignature to a document.
- Verify a wet signature for IPE purposes
- Check that an esignature is included.

Idea: Introduce an automated "Signature Detection" feature to validate the presence of signatures on documents like contracts and agreements.
Problem: Auditors currently have to manually verify the presence of signatures, a time-consuming process prone to errors, especially in documents requiring thorough validation.
Solution: Leverage computer vision techniques (Convolutional Neural Networks) to detect whether signature fields contain signatures, streamlining the validation process.
Benefits:
Automates the tedious task of signature verification, reducing audit times.
Ensures compliance by quickly identifying unsigned documents. -

We've seen this use case at the enterprise level for logistics companies too. Big upvote!

I am proposing an idea to auto validate/ auto exception on signatures. While there are currently limitations to text snip picking up signatures, validation and exception snip already exist and have no limitations against marking areas. In theory, it would be fantastic to run a scan on a multiple hundred page document, find anywhere the word "signature" is found, and leverage a validation snip if there's any sort of markup in the defined area, or an exception snip if its completely blank. If this could be automated, it would generate a huge amount of deal upsell in the IA space, Especially in the automotive/ manufacturing vertical.
