PlanetPress Capture ICR
The term "ICR", which means "IntelligentCharacter Recognition"is an evolution on the popularly-known
"OCR", which is "Optical Character Recognition". The difference between the two is easily explained:While
OCRcan only recognize characters using the finished shape (for example, in scanned documents and
pictures), ICRrelies on much more data which is provided by the Anoto Digital Pen:the path that the pen
takes, the exact timing of this path, start and stop points, etc. This extra information boosts the recognition
rates of characters by a wide margin.
It's important to note that both OCRand ICRare relatively loose terms - that is to say, they can have different
specific meanings depending on the technology used, but in their general sense mean the same thing.
When using the term ICR, we use the above definition for convenience.
Note
The PlanetPress Capture ICRengine is only available with PlanetPress Workflow version 7.5 and
higher.
