Abstract
An improved forms recognition method and system are disclosed, that minimizes the time required to perform the forms recognition process, by adaptively changing the processing sequence. In accordance with the invention, when new master forms are defined in the system, a new processing template is also defined. The processing template includes tables and indexes that give the profile of all the master forms that have been defined in the system. The processing template is then referred to at the time of forms recognition processing, to adaptively choose which forms recognition operations to perform, to minimize the time required to finish processing a particular completed form.
