Today at the AIIM Expo Conference & Exposition in New York City New York City: see New York, city. New York City City (pop., 2000: 8,008,278), southeastern New York, at the mouth of the Hudson River. The largest city in the U.S. , A2iA Corp., worldwide leader in advanced cursive, intelligent word, machine-print recognition and data capture technology, announced a new software module for A2iA FieldReader - A2iA AddressPack -- an add-on module, which uses its advanced Intelligent Word Recognition (IWR IWR Institute for Water Resources IWR Interactive Web Response IWR Internet Weather Report IWR Institute for Water Research IWR Isolated Word Recognition IWR I Will Report IWR Institute for Wood Research IWR Internal Work Request IWR Inter-Works Requisition ) to virtually eliminate character recognition errors in forms with addresses. The first integration of A2iA's AddressPack module is with Cardiff TeleForm, which uses vocabulary from the U.S. postal dictionary. The A2iA Cardiff solution dramatically reduces the labor-intensive manual keying and verification of captured data, saving Cardiff customers time and money. "A2iA FieldReader and A2iA AddressPack makes technology usually reserved to large service bureaus and data-entry shops available to a wider range of companies, is easy to use and is available at an affordable price," said Jean-Louis Fages, A2iA president and chief executive officer.

The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. ." IWR virtually eliminates spelling and character recognition errors. Instead of recognizing words character-by-character, IWR matches handwriting and printed data to a user-defined dictionary, reducing the usual time-consuming process of proofreading Proofreading traditionally means reading a proof copy of a text in order to detect and correct any errors. Modern proofreading often requires reading copy at earlier stages as well. and correction of spelling and character errors encountered in other, less advanced recognition engines on the market today. A2iA FieldReader is the most comprehensive set of recognition engines on the market today. It is the only recognition engine set that combines OMR (Optical Mark Reader) A scanner that reads marks on specific areas of the page. See mark sensing. OMR - Optical Mark Reader , OCR OCR in full optical character recognition Scanning and comparison technique intended to identify printed text or numerical data. It avoids the need to retype already printed material for data entry. , ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition or Image Character Recognition) The machine recognition of hand-printed characters as well as machine printing that is difficult to recognize. and Intelligent Word Recognition (IWR) for 17 different international handwriting styles in one place. It is available for the most popular document capture, forms processing and enterprise content management packages from popular vendors, such as Cardiff, ReadSoft, Captiva, TIS, VisionShape, and Kofax. A2iA's new AddressPack module is A2iA's advanced recognition technology that enables A2iA FieldReader to accurately read the zip code zip code System of postal-zone codes (zip stands for “zone improvement plan”) introduced in the U.S. in 1963 to improve mail delivery and exploit electronic reading and sorting capabilities. , as well as the city, state, and street address by matching the words on paper forms to real addresses in a dictionary, making character recognition errors impossible. A2iA FieldReader provides recognition results and confidence scores to the host system where the data can be used to verify results. Manual data entry costs are reduced and the amount of data that can be captured without human intervention is dramatically increased.
