  • Patent number: 9639751
    Abstract: A data verification system is configured to verify machine-recognized data elements acquired during a machine-implemented data acquisition process. The system includes a data verification workstation, an image server, and a data entry server. The data verification workstation is configured to obtain document images from the image server, present portions of document images to an operator, wherein the document images include text, and receive input from the operator based on the text. The input includes data elements. The data verification workstation is also configured to acquire machine-recognized data elements from the data entry server. The machine-recognized data elements were acquired from the document image during a machine-implemented data acquisition process based on the text.

  • Patent number: 8064703
    Abstract: A method of extracting data from a document image includes selecting a document classification for the document image that includes text. The classification is selected from a plurality of predetermined document classifications based on recognized text. The method also includes selecting rules from a database of rules based on the document classification. The rules define data elements to be populated based on recognized document text. The method also includes selecting target data elements from a database of data elements based on the selected document classification and the selected rules. The method also includes recognizing selected portions of the document image. The selected portions are determined by the selected rules. Recognizing selected portions of the document image generates one or more character strings based on recognized text. The method further includes comparing a specific character string to a target data element, thereby producing a match measure based on the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20070217691
    Abstract: A method of determining a title for a document includes recognizing at least a portion of an image of a document. The document includes text and recognizing at least a portion of the image of the document generates one or more character strings based on the text. The method also includes comparing the one or more character strings to each of a plurality of target document titles. Each target document title has a document code associated therewith and comparing produces a match measure based at least in part on the comparison. The method also includes determining whether the match measure exceeds a predetermined match threshold and assigning a document code to the document based on whether the match measure, produced by a comparison of a corresponding target document title to a target character string, exceeds the predetermined match threshold.
