ABSTRACT:
A processor-based fax routing method receives digital data representing a facsimile document. Without performing optical character recognition ("OCR"), the method identifies in the image data a keyword block of text, and an addressee-name block of text that is located near the keyword block of text. The fax routing method then performs OCR on the image data extracting therefrom texts for the keyword, the name of the addressee, and other text present in the facsimile. Using probabilities computed between the text of the name of the addressee and names in a list of possible addressees, and between the keyword and keywords in a list of keywords, the fax routing method determines an addressee for the document. The fax routing method then converts all text into email addressed to the fax's addressee, and stores the email onto an email server from which it may be retrieved.
