Abstract: A method for automated evaluation of documents includes steps of scanning a set of documents with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to produce an electronic format, converting the electronic format into a character set associated with an ID marker and sending the character set and ID marker to a server for the evaluation. An additional step provides for receiving from the server a results set wherein the results set includes the results of a comparison of at least a portion of the character set to at least a portion of a predefined character set using search coordinates where the search coordinates were in part determined by an identification of an identification field and predefined coordinates of the identification field in the predefined character set and character set coordinates of the identification field in the character set.
