Abstract: An application extracts a user name from a financial card image using optical character recognition (“OCR”) and compares segments of the user name to names stored in user data to refine the extracted name. The application performs an OCR algorithm on a card image and compares an extracted name with user data. The application identifies likely matching names to the extracted name. The OCR application breaks the extracted name into one or more series of segments and compares the segments from the extracted name to segments from the stored names. The OCR application determines an edit distance between the extracted name and each potentially matching stored name. If the edit distance is below a configured threshold then the OCR application revises the extracted name to match the identified stored name. The refined name is presented to the user for verification.
