A friend of mine works quality control at a mid-size pharma plant. Last month she told me she spent three full days reviewing one batch record. Three days. For one batch. Not because the batch had problems, but because checking every signature and reading by hand just takes that long.That’s the part people outside pharma never get. Batch Record Review isn’t a quick form check. It’s hundreds of pages, and one missed detail can mean a recall.For a while the go-to fix was OCR. It scans a page and spits out text. Fine for typed forms. Less fine when you’re dealing with a handwritten correction, a smudged initial, or a table that doesn’t match last week’s layout. OCR reads the page. It does not comprehend it. As a result, the reviewer ultimately verifies the machine’s output twice, which somewhat negates the purpose.What’s actually changing things is AI built specifically for this kind of document. It doesn’t just extract text, it knows what a proper signature block looks like, catches a reading that’s out of spec, and tells you exactly where to look instead of dumping everything on you at once.My friend’s team switched to this a few months back. Her three-day reviews are now closer to a few hours. For more info, visit us
