Abstract:
An OCR percentage matching algorithm achieves a significant reduction in false mismatches accounting for combinations of unprocessed spaces, missing characters, extra characters and character substitution errors during the OCR scanning processing and allows for a specified percentage of the OCR character scan rather the entire OCR character scan to be the same as the expected character string to declare a match.
