ABSTRACT:
An optical character recognition system and method therefor is disclosed for reading a machine encoded character font, such as the E13B magnetic ink character (MICR) font. The digitized data of an optical scan band of the document to be read is read by an optical scanner and stored in memory. A two pass operation of the digitized data is then performed by the respective algorithms of the system to locate and recognize the characters read.
