Copy and paste operation using ocr with integrated correction application

Abstract

Methods and systems execute different optical character recognition processes on an image using a network-based server to automatically recognize characters in the image, and aggregate the recognition results from the different optical character recognition processes to produce a final character recognition result that includes relatively higher confidence recognized characters and relatively lower confidence recognized characters. These methods and systems then output the final character recognition result from the network-based server to a remote computerized device over a computerized network. The output provides the relatively higher confidence recognized characters as default characters for pasting, and also provides the relatively lower confidence recognized characters as alternate characters for pasting. Additionally, this output provides a default pointer movement operation that automatically pastes the default characters into another input field, and a secondary pointer movement operation that automatically pastes one or more of the alternate characters for pasting into the input field.
