ABSTRACT:
The user circles the fax number or name of the receiving party and the system then uses the circled number or name to dial the receiving party's fax machine to initiate the transmission. The system scans the first page or cover page of the document to be faxed and uses a computer-implemented algorithm to detect the user-circled region. The image within the user-circled region is then extracted and optical character recognition performed to ascertain the fax number. Alternatively, the user-circled region may contain a name or other information to access a database where the fax number is stored.
