Displaying automatically recognized text in proximity to a source image to assist comparibility
First Claim
1. A method for displaying automatically recognized text, wherein the automatically recognized text includes optical character recognition (OCR) text or intelligent character recognition (ICR) text, the method comprising:
- receiving a source image containing text from a user;
performing a character-recognition operation on the source image to produce recognized text;
locating a data field within the source image, wherein the data field includes original text;
identifying a subset of the recognized text that corresponds to the original text in the data field;
determining a probability that the subset of the recognized text includes a recognition error;
adjusting an attribute of a font used to display the subset of the recognized text to indicate the probability to the user;
displaying the source image to the user; and
simultaneously displaying the subset of the recognized text in close proximity to the original text in the data field in the source image, such that the subset of the recognized text and the original text in the data field are both visible to the user, to facilitate comparing the recognized text with the original text contained in the source image.

Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates displaying automatically recognized text, wherein the automatically recognized text includes optical character recognition (OCR) text or intelligent character recognition (ICR) text. During operation, the system receives a source image containing text from a user. Next, the system performs a character-recognition operation on the source image to produce recognized text. The system then locates a data field within the source image. Next, the system identifies a subset of the recognized text that corresponds with the data field. After that, the system displays the source image to the user. At the same time, the system displays the subset of the recognized text in close proximity to the data field in the source image to facilitate comparing the recognized text with the text contained in the source image.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for displaying automatically recognized text, wherein the automatically recognized text includes optical character recognition (OCR) text or intelligent character recognition (ICR) text, the method comprising:
-
receiving a source image containing text from a user; performing a character-recognition operation on the source image to produce recognized text; locating a data field within the source image, wherein the data field includes original text; identifying a subset of the recognized text that corresponds to the original text in the data field; determining a probability that the subset of the recognized text includes a recognition error; adjusting an attribute of a font used to display the subset of the recognized text to indicate the probability to the user; displaying the source image to the user; and simultaneously displaying the subset of the recognized text in close proximity to the original text in the data field in the source image, such that the subset of the recognized text and the original text in the data field are both visible to the user, to facilitate comparing the recognized text with the original text contained in the source image. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. An apparatus configured to display automatically recognized text, wherein the automatically recognized text includes optical character recognition (OCR) text or intelligent character recognition (ICR) text, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory; a receiving mechanism configured to receive a source image containing text from a user; a character-recognition mechanism configured to perform a character-recognition operation on the source image to produce recognized text; a location mechanism configured to locate a data field within the source image, wherein the data field includes original text; an identification mechanism configured to identify a subset of the recognized text that corresponds to the original text in the data field; a calculation mechanism configured to determine a probability that the subset of the recognized text includes a recognition error; a font-adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an attribute of a font used to display the subset of the recognized text to indicate the probability to the user; and a display mechanism configured to display the source image to the user; wherein the display mechanism is further configured to simultaneously display the subset of the recognized text in close proximity to the original text in the data field in the source image, such that the subset of the recognized text and the original text in the data field are both visible to the user, to facilitate comparing the recognized text with the original text contained in the source image.
