Abstract
An integrated character recognition system for providing high-accuracy detection of a magnetic ink character string of a printed medium. The character recognition system includes a magnetic ink character recognition system for reading and decoding the magnetic ink character string. An optical character recognition system is also included performing the integrated character recognition system thereby overcoming many of the limitations presented by conventional technologies. A system and method for performing complete processing of a printed media having a magnetic ink character string utilizes both the optical and magnetic ink character recognition systems to perform virtually error-free character recognition of the magnetic ink character string.
