OCR as a technology provides the ability to successfully capture machine produced characters in pre-set zones or, full page. OCR systems can recognise many different OCR fonts, as well as typewriter and computer-printed characters. Dependent upon the capabilities of the OCR product, this can be used to capture low to high volumes of data, where the information is in consistent location(s) on the documents.

ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition)

ICR is the computer translation of hand printed and written characters. Data is entered from hand-printed forms through a scanner, and the image of the captured data is then analysed and translated by sophisticated ICR software. ICR is similar to optical character recognition (OCR) but is a more difficult process since OCR is from printed text, as opposed to handwritten characters.

Barcode recognition

Dependent upon the type of barcode that is used, the amount of metadata that can be included is high, as is the level of recognition. The application of single or multiple bar codes to particular document types such as Proof of Delivery notes, membership forms, application forms, gift aid, can dramatically increase the effectiveness of a business process.
