Abstract
An approach is provided for routing received documents. Text documents are received by a document analytics server. The document analytics server accesses a keyword mapping which contains associations between keywords and document destinations. The document analytics server searches the received document for keywords that exist in the keyword mapping and, based on keywords found in the document and the keyword mapping, determines one or more destinations for the document. The document analytics server then routes the document to the one or more destinations.

A method for routing a received document to one or more end destinations comprising:
- receiving, at a document analytics service, OCR data relating to one or more electronic documents;
- identifying one or more keywords in the OCR data;
- accessing one or more keyword mappings that map keywords to end destinations;
- determining one or more end destinations for the one or more electronic documents based, at least in part, on the one or more keywords in the OCR data and the one or more keyword mappings;
- in response to determining one or more end destinations for the one or more electronic documents, sending to an image forming device or client computing device data that identifies the one or more end destinations;
- receiving a selection of a particular end destination;
- and
- causing the one or more electronic documents to be sent to the particular end destination in response to receiving the selection of the particular end destination.
One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of:
- receiving, at a document analytics service, OCR data relating to one or more electronic documents;
- identifying one or more keywords in the OCR data;
- accessing one or more keyword mappings that map keywords to end destinations;
- determining one or more end destinations for the one or more electronic documents based, at least in part, on the one or more keywords in the OCR data and the one or more keyword mappings;
- in response to determining one or more end destinations for the one or more electronic documents, sending to an image forming device or client computing device data that identifies the one or more end destinations;
- receiving a selection of a particular end destination;
- and
- causing the one or more electronic documents to be sent to the particular end destination in response to receiving the selection of the particular end destination.
