Intelligent character recognition (ICR) is used to extract handwritten text from images. It is a more sophisticated type of OCR technology that recognizes different handwriting styles and fonts to intelligently interpret data on forms and physical documents.[1]
These paper-based papers are scanned, the information is extracted, and the data is then digitally stored in a database program using ICR technology. The data is utilized for analytical reporting and is integrated with business processes. ICR technology is used by businesses to organize unstructured data and obtain current information from these reports. Users can rapidly read handwritten data on paper using ICR, then convert it to a digital format. ICR algorithms collaborate with OCR to automate data entry from forms by removing the need for keystrokes. It has a high degree of accuracy and is a dependable method for processing various papers quickly.[1]
