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.
l
ICRResemblance:Apercentage value that defines how closely the value resembles the
"average"character shape. Both the Confidence and Resemblance can be used together to make an
informed decision on the contents received by ICR.
PlanetPress Capture ICR Best Practices
The latest version of PReS Workflow (7.5) now gives PlanetPress Capture the capability of doing the
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.
The present document gives 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.
