a computer that decomposes the image of the document into at least one sub-image, the sub-image defining an identified element; a computer that transmits the at least one sub-image to a plurality of data entry computers when a confidence rating related to an outcome from performing a scan for the information on the sub-image is below a predefined threshold, the sub-image being displayed on one or more data entry computers so as to allow one or more user-based inputs, in response to observation of the displayed sub-image, to provide one or more user-based data entry values respectively from at least one of the data entry computers, the one or more user-based data entry values being communicated over the network to a receiving computer; and wherein the receiving computer determines if the one or more user-based data entry values provide a predetermined level of confidence and computes a verified result when the predetermined level of confidence is provided. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the sub-image defines one or more elements that comprise some or all information in the scanned image of the document. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2 wherein the identified element comprises a character-based recognition element. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3 further comprising a computer that performs optical character recognition (OCR) on at least the sub-image. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4 wherein the verified result identifies the character-based recognition element when the confidence rating related to the outcome from performing OCR on the sub-image indicates the sub-image was not successfully processed. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The system of claim 5 wherein the verified result confirms the character-based recognition element when the confidence rating related to the outcome from performing OCR on the sub-image is below the predefined threshold. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein one or more user-based data entry values is communicated over a network to the receiving computer. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4, further comprising a computer that determines wherein at least one of (a) the computer and (b) another computer is arranged to determine whether a value generated by the OCR matches the verified result. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, further comprising a computer that determines that the user at the one or more data entry computers is available if a profile associated with the user matches a profile associated with the work order. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8 wherein the computer that determines whether a value generated by the OCR matches the verified result value determines whether a single one of the user-based data values matches the verified result, returns the verified result. ### Claim 11 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2 wherein the at least one sub-image is transmitted to the one or more data entry computers over the Internet. ### Claim 12 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2 wherein the computer that decomposes includes the receiving computer that performs the computing. ### Claim 13 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2 wherein the verified result is collated into a character-based electronic document corresponding to the document image. ### Claim 14 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2 wherein the at least one sub-image comprises at least one sub-image that is provided to at least one of the one or more data entry computers, herein a user at the at least one of the one or more data entry computers is known to be available for viewing the sub-image. ### Claim 15 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2 wherein the at least one sub-image comprises a sub-image provided to a user at one or more of the one or more data entry computers in connection with a work order. ### Claim 16 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, further comprising a computer that determines whether predetermined number of the user-based data values of a plurality of the user-based data values match so as to provide the predetermined level of confidence. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the identified information defines readable information on the document. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the sub-image comprises a discrete area of readable information on the document. ### Claim 19 A method for using an interactive media application, comprising the steps of: scanning a document by a processor for information on the document; decomposing the an image of the document into at least one sub-image, the sub-image defining an identified information-based element; transmitting the at least one sub-image to a plurality of data entry computers when a confidence rating related to an outcome from performing a scan for the information on the sub-image is below a predefined threshold, the sub-image being displayed on one or more data entry computers so as to allow one or more user-based inputs, in response to observation of the displayed sub-image, to provide one or more user-based data entry values respectively from at least one of the data entry computers, the one or more user-based data entry values being communicated over the network to a receiving computer; and determining, with the receiving computer, if the one or more user-based data entry values provide a predetermined level of confidence, and computing, with the receiving computer, a verified result. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method as set forth in claim 19 wherein the sub-image defines one or more elements that comprise some or all information in the scanned image of the document.
