Abstract
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.
