l In PReS Connect, a Capture Field Object must be added and the Perform ICRoption must be
activated (See the Capture Field page in the PReS Connect User Guide). This must be either a Multi-
Area Field or a Text Field.
l The Capture Fields Processor must have the Perform ICRRecognition option checked, and language
needs to be selected.
l Once the ICRdata is available, do something with it. This is done by reading the ICRdata that is
available in the metadata generated by the Get Capture Document task.
l The metadata is also readable by the Capture Condition task, including the captured text and the
reliability of this text.
The Workflow as such is the following:
l A Capture field is setup for ICR in a PReS Connect document.
l The document is sent to PReS Production
l The Capture Field Generator is used to produce one or more print-outs using this document.
l The physical sheets are written on using an Anoto Digital Pen
l The pen is docked and the data is sent to PReS Production
l The pen data goes through the Capture Field Processor, where the Capture Field ink is sent through
the ICRengine.
l
The captured ICRdata is retrieved with the document using the Get Capture Document task.
l
Conditions are applied if necessary with the Capture Condition task.
Warning
ICR, just like OCR, has its limitations. Please refer to the PlanetPress Capture ICR Best Practices
page for more information.
Terminology and Definitions
In regards to our ICRtechnology specifically, the following terminology applies:
l ICR:"Intelligent Character Recognition", or the engine that will read the pen data and attempt to
recognize the text written using the pen itself. The ICRengine uses the path of the pen, its movement
speed as well as the overall shape of each character to determine which character was written.
l ICRValue:The alpha, numeric or alphanumeric value that was determined by the ICRengine.
l ICRConfidence:Apercentage value that the ICRengine gives to any specific value, when comparing
the pen data with it's character database.
