Abstract
A modularly configured networked document processing system has a plurality of computers communicating over a local area network. The system has fax servers and scanners to convert documents into image signals, work stations to recognize character signals from the image signals, to process the character signals, and to display the unintelligible processed character signals for user intervention. In addition, the system has a gateway for communication to a mainframe computer.
