Systems and methods for automatically extracting data from eletronic documents using multiple character recognition engines

Abstract

In a document analysis system that receives and processes jobs from a plurality of users, in which each job may contain multiple electronic documents, to extract data from the electronic documents, a method of automatically extracting data from each received electronic document using a plurality of character recognition engines is provided. The method includes: automatically processing each received electronic document page using each of a plurality of recognition engines to extract data; comparing quality of data extracted from each of the recognition engines to assign a confidence score to the extracted data; and selecting extracted data having highest confidence score as the correct extracted data.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
