ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for processing documents having human readable intelligent bearing written indicia located thereon and includes optical scanning means (46) for generating signals representing the pattern of the written indicia scanned by the scanning means. Means (40) also are provided for generating recognition data pertaining to certain characteristics of the written indicia associated with the owner of each document, which means includes an operator keyboard (26) for entering the location of the written indicia on the document, together with a number (60) identifying the owner, the number being located on the document and being used as an address in a storage unit (41) to store the recognition data generated which is employed in recognizing the characters of the indicia associated with the document. Subsequent processing of the owner's documents includes reading the identifying number on the document for use by a character recognition apparatus (46) to extract the appropriate recognition data from the storage unit stored at an address corresponding to the identifying number read for use in recognizing the written indicia on the document.
