PlanetPress Capture ICR Best Practices
From Workflow 7.5 onwards, PlanetPress Capture supports Intelligent Character Recognition
(ICR). However, this technology comes with certain limitations. A successful integration of ICR
within a business requires the application of best practices by all parties involved: Form
designer, Workflow designer and User.
Here we present a list of recommended best practices. Each of these guidelines aim at
maximizing the likelihood that the characters are recognized; and minimize the risk of errors
due to an incorrect analysis.
You will find the following information, when applicable, for each best practice:
l Target: The targeted audience. There are 3 possibilities: Form designer, Workflow
designer and User.
l What: A brief description of the best practice. This could include an explanation of the
concepts that are addressed.
l Why: A brief explanation of the reasoning behind the relevance of this guideline.
l How: How to apply this best practice.
This section describes a list of the best practices to implement. They are listed in no particular
order of importance. Pay attention to the targeted audience to know if this rule applies to you.
