Optical Printed Form Recognition

Our printed form recognition system uses advanced OCR algorithms to extract numeric and alphabetic information from the fields of a form. In this case, the OCR algorithms were trained only with printed characters, but handwritten recognition is also possible, as demonstrated in other projects.The details can be found in the following paper:

As an example, forms consisting only of numerical fields are shown here. These pages are automatically generated by the form recognition program if HTML output is selected.
