SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CORRECTION OF OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION WITH DISPLAY OF IMAGE SEGMENTS ACCORDING TO CHARACTER DATA

A data entry system generates an electronically stored coded representation of a character sequence from one or more electronically stored document images. The system comprising optical character recognition logic for generating, from the document image or images, character data specifying one of a plurality of possible character values for corresponding segments of the document images. The system also has an interactive display means for generating and sequentially displaying, one or more types of composite image, each composite image comprising segments of the document image or images arranged according to the character data, and a correction mechanism responsive to a user input operation to enable the operator to correct the character data associated with displayed segments.
