Why isn't voting multiple recognition engines enough? Forms processing packages try to remove lines, since they confuse most OCR engines. Only Line Avoidance gets it right. 98% Capturing your healthcare data Summary: Error type 1: A correct character that is flagged. Error type 2: A wrong character that is flagged. If the OCR/ICR gets a character wrong, you want it to tell you, so you can clean it up. Error type 3: A wrong character that is unflagged (substitution error). Error type 4: The original data is wrong. 92% Forms Processing: Grab Value From Automated Data Entry Summary: FORMS PROCESSING. "Forms processing" is pig latin for "data entry"--automated data entry, actually. In that case, context wouldn't help much. But context can be enormously helpful if the data is alphanumeric. It can be argued that the ability to automate data entry from HCFA forms is a reliable yardstick for a product. 92% An essential ingredient: Post recognition processing Summary: Assuming an equal distribution of unrecognized characters in all fields, a field level accuracy rate can be calculated by taking the character level accuracy rate to the power of the number of characters in a particular field. Character level accuracy rates may be above 80% and field level accuracy rates can still be as low as only 20%. Post recognition processing is essential to ensure the... 92% Inspiration is only 2% Summary: Improve each step of the scanning and recognition process and you significantly improve the overall effectiveness of the process itself.) Column 3: Automatic Character Correction with Improved Interface. Column 4: Automatic Edit Correction. Automatic post-recognition processing. The labor cost for character correction is a function of the time it takes on average to correct a field and the... 91% Automated cleanup rids systems of worthless im... Summary: Future forms will be measured against that form and will be adjusted for skew and other attributes against the original form. "This is especially important when you are doing recognition on particular zones on a form," says Macciola. The forms recognition capability will also scale the image to match the form. For example, contrast may be more important than skew, but OCR readabiliy in a... 90% When forms processing pays Summary: Forms processing pays for itself when there is a good "fit-to-function." Forms processing pays for itself when there is a good "fit-to-function." Forms processing pays when it is easy to fix errors. Full-context editing displays images of forms side by side with questionable data highlighted on the screen. This allows operators to view and edit questionable characters in the full context of... 90% Gulf War declassification project puts USIraq... Summary: Imaging World, October 21st, 1996. Gulf War declassification project. puts US/Iraqi records on the Web. After the images have been through those devices, they go through an image enhancement solution that does the cropping and deskewing. He or she cleans up the image by further despeckling and deskewing. 90% Handwriting recognition gets real Summary: Handwriting recognition gets real. These enable ICR integrators to cope with the idiosyncrasies of industry-specific forms. What's new? What about handwriting recognition? The new company was formed to concentrate solely on recognizing natural handwriting. 90% Selecting an enterprise solution provider Summary: Now it's time to check the references the solution providers provided earlier. The following are examples of questions we ask a solution provider's references: * What process did you use to select the solution provider? * What other solution providers did you evaluate? Ask them open-ended questions about their experience with the system. Ask what the systems don't do, not just their capabilities. 90% Forms processing A market takes shape As the... Summary: In fact, the paper forms industry now refers to itself as the forms and systems industry. The forms automation marketplace. Pricing: the new differentiator. There is also an annual maintenance fee of 15% of system cost. Prices vary. 89% The next logical step to keyless data entry Summary: The earlier an error is detected, the cheaper it is to correct it. The earlier an error is de- tected, the cheaper it is to correct it. Rejects must be corrected. Cost to Correct Rejects. The better the recognition accuracy, the fewer rejects to be corrected. 89% Forms processing primer Summary: Forms processing primer. What, then, is forms processing? The ability to easily train the system to read forms is also important. The ability to process multiple forms at once (e. 6. Some forms-processing systems provide the ability to perform data validation checks at the point of data capture. 89% Integrating ICR with document imaging Summary: Integrating ICR with document imaging. Additionally, complete data entry of the form can be automated through this process. Integrated with document imaging, ICR revolutionizes forms processing through automating the data capture process. An integrated ICR system should use a document image system's workflow software. FileNet provides an integrated ICR system with workflow and document imaging... 89% The maturation of recognition technology How ... Summary: How OCR evolved and how the Web is changing source documentation. Some areas of OCR are more mature than others. Machine-print OCR on clean documents is fairly mature. OCR increases productivity and automates office processes. The Web and intranet are slowly changing the source of documents. 88% OCR for Win 95: Comparing Caere OmniPage 7 and Xerox TextBridge 96 Summary: OCR is a very demanding task, and multiprocessing is not an option, it's a requirement. After a page or two of checking correct "errors," you have the option of only checking the worst "errors." The display window and the Soundex correction screens are very helpful. This measures every time a user would be faced with an error in a spell checker and the obvious errors that the spell checker... 88% Scanner/Web/VAR Beats Summary: Intrafed continues on the scene. BancTec announced a distribution agreement with TextWare. The Web beat. "We believe that publishing on- and off-line go hand in hand on the Web and CD, and we believe that automating the process is critical to the success of the project." Now they are asking how to solve problems." 88% Document capture for the healthcare enterprise Summary: ) customizable; (2. 1. Customizable. Effective document capture solutions must be customizable in the following ways: * Technology. To be truly customizable, the document capture system must be open. Features should include: * Customizable capture process. 88% Jumping off a bridge to the 21st century Summary: Jumping off a bridge to the 21st century. Let's start with the paradigm shift. The operative word at Giga was economy, as in new economy, digital economy, or knowledge economy. We don't get too many of those new economies. The point is that the old rules don't apply in the new economy. 88% Merging principles of Web software pricing Ne... Summary: Gradually, out of the chaos a few principles are emerging: 1. Some level of access has to be free. 5. Writing costs more than reading. Consequently, write access to the database costs more. If Web access is free, support is not. With the Web, user support is starting to be decoupled from the software price.
