OCR for AnyDoc uses a variety of technological processes to recognize varying data types:

• Optical Character Recognition (OCR) analyzes computer-generated text located on paper documents and translates this into usable data. Algorithms identify characters based upon pixilation, curvature, and line direction.
• Using techniques similar to OCR, Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) software analyzes and translates handwritten characters.
• Voting is a technique where two data recognition engines are involved, compared, and the best solution is provided.
• Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) captures responses to questions based upon a selected checkbox or bubble — a data type known as mark sense.
• Barcode Recognition (BCR) functionality reads 1D and 2D barcodes and translates them into usable data.
