Abstract: A fill-in form document completion system includes a processing device, an image capturing device, and a document generation device. The image capturing device generates an image file of a printed form having at least one fill-in field that contains a handwritten symbol within a field boundary. The processing device will process the image file to identify a fill-in field on the printed form and the handwritten symbol that is contained within the identified fill-in field. The processing device will then retrieve a candidate value that corresponds to the identified handwritten symbol, insert the candidate value in the identified fill-in field, and cause the document generation device to generate a document comprising the form with the selected candidate value displayed in the identified fill-in field.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically editing a softcopy document using a hardcopy markup document are disclosed. The method includes scanning pages of the hardcopy markup document including editing marks; identifying file information of the hardcopy markup document; retrieving the softcopy document corresponding to the hardcopy markup document from a storage device based on the identified file information; recognizing marked regions present on at least one of the scanned pages, the marked regions includes at least one of the editing marks; creating an edit information document based on the recognized marked regions; converting the marked regions into an editable format; and creating an edited softcopy document by making one or more changes on each page of the retrieved softcopy document based on the edit information document.
