Abstract:
1. A method for processing images of magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) encoded document, the method comprising: receiving a MICR encoded document, wherein an image of the MICR encoded document is captured; processing the MICR encoded document, including storing MICR data and the image of the MICR encoded document; identifying, during the processing, exception MICR encoded documents, wherein an exception is one or more of a MICR digit read error, a high-dollar error, or a programmed defined exception; performing an optical character recognition (OCR) process on at least one portion of an image of the exception MICR encoded document, wherein at least a portion of the image of the exception MICR encoded document substantially corresponds to stored MICR data; determining, via a computer device processor, if the OCR process on at least one portion of an image of the exception MICR encoded document passes an established minimum read confidence; applying, automatically upon passing the established minimum read confidence, a correction for the exception MICR encoded document; and merging a corrected exception MICR encoded document into the processing of MICR encoded documents.
