Abstract
An image-based transaction processing system employing automatic reading of machine-printed and handwritten financial amounts on transaction documents to enhance transaction balancing by reducing the number of transactions which have to be balanced by an operator. The automatic reader provides a second choice as well as a first choice for one or more digits. When an out-of-balance transaction is detected, one or more second choice digits are substituted for corresponding first choice digits in order to obtain automatic transaction balancing even through an automatically read amount is incorrect.
