Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) is an advanced form of Optical Character Recognition; much like OCR, it is a process for the electronic conversion of scanned or sometimes photographed images of hand written characters (unlike OCR which deals with machine-print) to be converted into computer-readable text.

Most ICR platforms are self-learning systems that allow for seen character types to be added fluidly to the recognition database, allowing for increasing levels of accuracy. Given variances in handwriting styles, capture rates can vary dramatically, however you can expect a capture rate of 95+% if you are capturing from a structured form.

ICR is a widely used technology that is most frequently associated with capture of structured document types. One of the best examples of this is the capture of timesheets. These are incredibly important to employees and delays associated with the manual data entry from these forms can cause stress not only for employees, but also for finance staff.

ICR is another method for data capture. To find out more about Data Capture, click here.
