ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are provided for analyzing and assessing documents using a writing profile for documents, such as a payment instrument. A method may include providing a document to a computer system. In an embodiment, the method may further include assessing whether writing in an information field approximately matches a writing profile representation from at least one information field from at least one other document. In certain embodiments, the matching writing profile representation may be associated with a corresponding text representation in a computer processable format in memory on the computer system. In some embodiments, the information field may be associated with the text representation corresponding to the matching writing profile representation.
