A system for optical character recognition pre-verification is provided. The system may review payment documents. The payment documents may include remit stubs and paper checks. The system, utilizing optical character recognition software, may determine dollar amounts on the remit stubs and the paper checks. The optical character recognition software may determine a confidence level of whether the determined amount is the same amount that the writer of the check. If the confidence level is above first predetermined threshold level of confidence and below a second predetermined threshold level of confidence, the system may present an operator with a pre-verification GUI. The pre-verification GUI may include a view of the remit stub, a view of the check, the dollar amount due, a match button and a do not match button. Upon selection of either the match or do not match button, the payment may be processed in another check-processing system.

A method for database retrieval is provided. The method may include receiving a history datastore. The method may include receiving a payment, i.e., a paper check. The method may include simultaneously scanning the check into a grayscale image and black and white image. The method may include reviewing each pixel on the black and white image alone and in combination with surrounding pixels to determine an arrangement of shaded pixels. When the arrangement of shaded pixels is determined to be above a predetermined threshold of similarity to a predefined set of characters, the method may determine a subset of characters and store the subset of characters in a memory. The method may include crawling the history datastore to determine information which corresponds to the subset of characters stored in memory and retrieving the corresponding information. The method may include showing the corresponding information and the payment on a GUI.
