Executive Summary

Any data recognition technology worth its salt usually yields 99% character recognition accuracy for machine print and 96% for constrained handprint, but what about unconstrained handprint and, dare we say, cursive? What has proven impossible for some is where A2iA has focused its research and development for the last 17 years, and is now an area of expertise. Organizations processing checks and remittances with A2iA CheckReader can now, in one pass, scan all checks, money orders, payment coupons, and related payment documents, with maximum data recognition and a dramatic reduction in data entry and exception handling costs. This is especia!y important that “Joe Six-pack” now deposits his checks directly into ATMs around the country, making centralized, back-office check scanning by experienced operators increasingly rare. A2iA also offers additional image analysis technologies for data and Check 21 validation, fraud prevention and data mining for CRM applications.
