Abstract
A method for integrated or Web based statistical process control of a data capture/data entry system we call AIMED@Q SPC™ (“Automatic Integration and Management of Enterprise Data Quality—Statistical Process Control”). Test images of machine print, handprint, or cursive writing, created through Digital Test Deck® technology or other methods, are injected into current workflows and keyed by Data Entry operators. Keyer results are quickly and cost-effectively compared to a perfectly known truth file corresponding to the test images. Reporting and analysis may be performed on single events or over time, at single or multiple locations.
Claims13
A method for measuring and characterizing forms processing data entry systems comprising steps of:
- (a) inputting test materials containing sample data for which the truth is known,
- (b) inputting system operating parameters for evaluating data entry performance,
- (c) performing scoring and analysis of Keyed data, entered for matching the sample data of the test materials,
- (d) employing date and time stamps associated with the sample data as part of content metadata, and
- e) outputting Keyer error rates in near-real time.
A method for statistical process control for data entry systems comprising steps of:
- injecting test images for which the truth is known in the form of a truth file into a current workflow for data entry keying, comparing keyer results to the truth file for test images keyed within the current workflow, and
- capturing metrics measuring speed and accuracy for individual keyers based on the results of the comparison.
