A system comprising:

• a first device having an image capture device and a display, wherein the first device is configured to:
• without any image of the entire object being sent to a second device by the first device:
• obtain an image of an object using the image capture device of the first device;
• isolating characters within a region of the image based on calculating horizontal and vertical projections of the region;
• generating one or more character snippets from the isolated characters;
• determining optical character recognition data based on determining a character represented by each of the one or more character snippets;
• verifying that the optical character recognition data includes all data required for processing;
• responsive to the verifying, providing the optical character recognition data to a second device for validation processing;
• and
• after providing the second optical character recognition data, receiving a confirmation notification from the second device;
• and
• after receiving the confirmation notification, provide the image of the entire object to the second device for further processing.

A method for processing an object, the method comprising:

• without having a server receive any image of the entire object to be processed:
• receiving, at the server and from a mobile device, optical character recognition data related to the object, wherein the optical character recognition data is generated from characters isolated based on vertical and horizontal projections;
• performing verification processing for the object using the received optical character recognition data;
• and
• responsive to the verification processing passing, sending a confirmation notification to the mobile device;
• after sending the confirmation notification to the mobile device, receiving an image of the entire object, wherein this receiving is the first time the server receives any image of the entire object from the mobile device;
• and
• processing the object based on the image.
