Magazine comments on "The State of Optical Character Recognition"

In a section labeled "Prime Recognition Excels at Voting"
Arthur Gingrande discusses Voting OCR.
"Voting can produce outstanding recognition results - if it is set up
properly. For example, Prime Recognition (San Carlos, 650-631-8900), which is known
for pioneering OCR voting, claims increased accuracy of
between 60-85% when the right algorithms are combined with the right OCR engines."
"Since approximately 66% of the money consumed by the "Imaging OCR life
cycle" is spent on editing recognition errors, a low substitution error rate
translates into much higher productivity - especially when the recognition task at hand
involves recognizing thousands of pages of text or more in a day."
"Prime Recognition is the voting system that is most widely used in high production
OCR installations. For example, both the U.S. Patent Office and the U.S. Trademark Office
are currently using Prime's voting scheme at 24 servers to OCR millions of free-text pages
a day. If a third party vendor offers voting, chances are that it is Prime's." |
