ABSTRACT:
A method for separating integer and fractional portions of a financial amount preparatory to recognition of the financial amount. This separating is accomplished based on determining the presence of at least one of a plurality of possible distinguishing separation characteristics, such as the presence of a period (decimal point), superscripted characters, or a fraction. The separated fractional portion is then categorized into one of a plurality of categories based on the nature of the fractional portion representation. The characters making up this fractional portion are then extracted based on this categorizing.
