Abstract
A method and an apparatus for processing the predetermined numeric fields containing the handwritten numeric entries. The numeric fields are subjected to character recognition analysis, and a confidence level is associated with each such numeric field reflecting the degree of confidence with which the apparatus has recognized the numeric dollar amounts. The transaction is automatically balanced from the data in the system by computing a combined value of the recognized dollar amounts making up a transaction and comparing the combined value with the transaction total. This computation and comparison is performed automatically, without the prior intervention or assistance of a human operator to review, verify, correct or otherwise modify the dollar amounts recognized by the system.
