ABSTRACT:
An assisted character recognition process is described which utilizes the relative position of an amount from a negotiable instrument, such as a check or credit card receipt, in a sequence of such amounts and compares its relative position to the relative position of an identical amount in a sequence of amounts on a second source, such as an adding machine tape, in order to determine the order of the items; the process also establishes matching elements which may be varied in stringency during sequential iterations of the matching process whereby the relaxation of the matching criteria will sequentially result in increased matches to allow the largest possible number of matches between the "courtesy" amounts on the checks and the amounts or entries on the second source or adding machine tape. This process is especially useful for matching handwritten entries to similar entries on a second source list such as an adding machine tape, or other such printout.
