Claim:
A method for displaying automatically recognized text, wherein the automatically recognized text includes optical character recognition (OCR) text or intelligent character recognition (ICR) text, the method comprising: receiving a source image containing text from a user; performing a character-recognition operation on the source image to produce recognized text; locating a data field within the source image, wherein the data field includes original text; identifying a subset of the recognized text that corresponds to the original text in the data field; determining a probability that the subset of the recognized text includes a recognition error; adjusting an attribute of a font used to display the subset of the recognized text to indicate the probability to the user; displaying the source image to the user; and simultaneously displaying the subset of the recognized text in close proximity to the original text in the data field in the source image, such that the subset of the recognized text and the original text in the data field are both visible to the user, to facilitate comparing the recognized text with the original text contained in the source image.
