Abstract
A computer implemented method and system for correcting error produced by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of text contained in an image encoded document. An error model representing frequency and type of errors produced by Optical Character Recognition Engine is generated. An OCR character string generated by OCR is retrieved. A user-defined pattern of a plurality of character strings is retrieved, where each character string represents a possible correct representation of characters in the OCR character string. The OCR character string is compared to each of the above generated character strings and a 'likelihood score' is calculated based on the information from the error model. The character string with the highest 'likelihood score' is presumed to be the corrected version of the OCR character string.
