OCRProof TM 2.0 for Windows
OCRProof is designed for workers who need to perform OCR and data entry
from paper documents. OCRProof provides a patented heads-up line-by-line
OCR, proofreading, edit, and key entry user interface. It juxtaposes line-by-line
the scanned image and the ASCII text, matching their position and point
size. This increases accuracy, speed, and productivity, while cutting costs
and reducing physical strain. OCRProof uses the Xerox Textbridge TM
3.0 OCR engine.

a demo of OCRProof with a multimedia movie from http://members.home.net/extra-stuff/ocrdemo2.zip
as a compressed archive (2.6 MB). Just expand it in a subdirectory of your
choice and the files will be decompressed to about 6 MB. Then, run the
setup.exe program.
OCRProof Screen Display
The above image shows a screen display of OCRProof with a background
bitmap from a scanned page and an overlapping Editor window. The top of
the Editor window displays the current line of ASCII text which is the
output from the OCR or keyboard.
- OCRProof displays a pair of juxtaposed lines for proofreading.
- The top line of this pair is the current bitmap line and is shown as
"and point size. This increases accuracy, speed, and productivity,
while"
- The bottom line of this pair is an ASCII representation of the bitmap
as recognized by the OCR. This bottom line is displayed at the top of the
Editor window.
- The pair of lines is juxtaposed in the same field of view, with matching
position and point size for fast and accurate editing and proofreading.
- The operator can manually edit the errors that the OCR flags. These
are displayed as tildes, "~", with a blue background.
- The operator can proofread the other unflagged characters line-by-line,
as necessary.
- If the OCR is not performing accurately enough, the operator can manually
key one or more lines into the Editor window. The Editor window will display
the keyed text juxtaposed with the bitmap.
- This new display and editing method increases accuracy, speed, and
productivity, while cutting costs and reducing physical strain.

- Who needs OCRProof?
- What new technology is in OCRProof?
- What are the future plans for the OCRProof line of products?
1. How can OCRProof help me type
in my paper documents?
OCRProof will do your typing for you.
- OCRProof will also flag any OCR errors and display the scanned page
and the OCR ASCII text juxtaposed line-by-line on the screen.
- You can simply use the OCRProof Editor to correct any OCR errors.
- You can also proofread or type line-by-line as necessary depending
on the quality of the OCR output.
- Now, you can quickly produce a high quality document with OCRProof.

2. Who needs OCRProof?
Any individual or company wanting to speed up data entry by using a
scanner.
- Secretaries, information clerks, and business analysts that perform
data entry occasionally.
- Companies providing data entry services with full-time operators.
- Small business and home-based business.

3. What new technology is in OCRProof?
OCRProof uses the Visual Optical-Electronic Display for Encoding and
Measurement (VODEM) technology..
- VODEM technology will improve and control accuracy for manual data
entry tasks in business practice as follows:
- Computer science research has resulted in a patented display interface
to allow heads-up data entry and proofreading of scanned paper documents.
- Psychology research has produced new methods to measure and increase
attention.
- Quality control research has developed new methods in statistical process
control to monitor time and accuracy of work through control charts based
on normal and extreme value distributions.
- VODEM technology will provide new measurement variables for re-engineering
and workflow analysis.
- New tools and procedures treat the manual data entry tasks as industrial
processes subject to measurement, control, and improvement.
- New theories provide managers with analytical models to guide the work
force to attain very high levels of accuracy for mission critical business
data in distributed computer networks with shared databases and multiple-point
data entry.

4. What are the future plans for the OCRProof line
of products?
An OCRProof software development kit (SDK) will integrate OCRProof's
user interface with forms-based data entry in a client/server database
environment.
- Forms-based data entry includes health care claims, tax forms, purchase
orders, payroll records, and bills.
- The accuracy of the data must be maintained to predetermined standards,
since these databases provide so many entry points and are used by so many
workers.
- VODEM technology will provide the methods to insure that the quality
of the data is maintained in both a distributed environment and a central
data processing organization.
- VODEM technology will enable management to control data accuracy and
productivity throughout the enterprise.
- Management will be able to use VODEM technology to improve the accuracy
of mission-critical information in a data warehouse.
