Abstract
A method of detecting the encoding utilized in an electronic document includes testing the text strings to determine whether the electronic document contains only text strings having legal numeric codes. A statistical analysis of the text strings is then conducted to provide a mapping of legally coded candidates. The legally coded candidates are ranked and combined with an expected ranking of legally coded candidates to provide a most probable character mapping.
