ICR , (Intelligent
Character Recognition) is the process of automatically translating
handwritten text into machine-readable characters. The technology
is a further development of the OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
technology. While OCR deals with machine print, ICR allows the software
to recognize handwritten characters.
ICR, OCR and OMR (Optical Mark Recognition - reading checkboxes
etc.) involve a scanner, which reads text from paper and then turns
the images into a format that a computer can use. It is thanks to
these technologies that data capture software automatically "reads"
information from all types of documents - even handwritten ones.
The OCR, ICR and OMR technologies thus help saving time and money
by processing all forms and invoices with a speed and accuracy no
manual data entry could ever match.
ICR software enables you to achieve an automatic document flow,
which will increase your efficiency considerably. No more tedious
and expensive manual entering of data from paper documents. ICR,
OCR and OMR solutions will do the job for you!
