How: Make sure there’s enough space between each field. You must re-design the document if that’s the
case. There’s no minimum value that is required as the distance between 2 fields, except for the 7mm border
that is required in order for the Anoto digital pen to recognize the pattern being used.
Writing in a Legible Way
l Target: User.
l What: It is important to write in a legible way i.e. applying yourself by writing well defined numbers and
letter that are easily interpreted.
Warning
You must write on a flat and smooth surface i.e. a delivery person should use a clipboard.
Why: Some numbers can create some confusion, like numbers 7 and 1. 7 can be interpreted as a 1 and vice
versa. The letter i, where the dot on top is a circle, can possibly cause a conflict because the dot can be
considered as an o.
How:
l Write an additional line under the number 1.
l Write an additional line across the number 7.
l The ICR functionality of PlanetPress Capture cannot recognize dotted letters where there are circles
instead of dots (like i , j). This would be analyzed as an i AND o. Therefore, dots should be as such
and not circles.
l In French, the ç is somewhat sensitive. You must apply yourself and draw the letter carefully. In most
cases, it is recognized, but attention must be paid.
l Number 8 is also sensitive. It is recommended that the number is traced as one movement instead of
drawing 2 circles on top of each other.
Selecting the Correct Language When Using the Capture Field Processor Task
l Target: Workflow designer.
l What: It is crucial that the correct language is selected when using the ICR recognition option. This
will affect how the captured data is interpreted.
Why: The available filters to interpret the ink marks done with the Anoto digital pen, allow you to select the
engine language to be used. Doing so will give you results that are the closest match to the captured data.
