Description:
The invention generally relates to field of optical character recognition. Converting Image data into a Ms-Excel file, comparing two excel files to determine what is the difference between them.

Background

[0002] The problem at hand is to recognize the textual information contained in a scanned image. The scanned images can come from a wide variety of source material, such as written answers to printed questions on forms, or mailing addresses on postal envelopes.
[0003] Many times, we need to write text from some hard paper like a magazine, newspaper, or some images. They could all involve you spending hours retyping manually and correcting typos. Or you could take a more modern approach and convert all of them into a digital format with fully editable text in a matter of minutes.
[0004] The process of OCR is prone to errors. Therefore an OCR system may be designed to identify several alternatives for segmenting a connected component, and several character choices for each character inside a segmentation alternative.
[0005] Conventional OCR recognition engines exist, which recognize characters with a reasonable accurracy. However, even a 90% accuracy rate at the character level means less than 50% at the word level, so over half of all words contain at least one error
Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) System, we can capture the image of that page and give that to the OCR engine, OCR will extract the text from that image.
[0006] It happens that many times we go to School, Airport, Railway, or Bank, etc. then they have to enter our document details manually into their database (In Ms-Excel sheet), but by using OCR they can scan our document and extract all the details and easily they can save all the required details.

We Claim:

1. An optical character recognition (OCR) system comprising: means for producing a scan of an input image of text to be recognized; and a context analyzer , coupled to receive the scan, for checking the scan for consistency.
2. An OCR system as recited in claim further comprising means for facilitating modification of the library of semantic routines by a user of the OCR system.
3. A computer program product, for use with a processing system, comprising: a recording medium; means, recorded on the recording medium, for directing the processing system to operate the method.
