1. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon for performing the computer-implementable method, the method comprising:

  • receiving a digital version of an image;

    processing the digital version of the image through at least two binarization processes to thereby create a first binarization and a second binarization;

    processing the first binarization through a first optical character recognition process to thereby create a first OCR output file, wherein processing the first binarization through a first optical character recognition process comprises compiling first metrics associated with the first OCR output file;

    processing the second binarization through the first optical character recognition process to thereby create a second OCR output file, wherein processing the second binarization through the first optical character recognition process comprises;

    compiling second metrics associated with the second OCR output file; and

    using the first metrics and the second metrics, at least in part, to select a final OCR output file from among the OCR output files;

    further comprising;

    processing the first binarization through a second optical character recognition process to thereby create a third OCR output file, wherein processing the first binarization through a second optical character recognition process comprises compiling third metrics associated with the third OCR output file; and

    processing the second binarization through the second optical character recognition process to thereby create a fourth OCR output file, wherein processing the second binarization through the second optical character recognition process comprises compiling fourth metrics associated with the fourth OCR output file.
