Use this method to extract data located at fixed positions in a document. This requirement is usually met with classical forms. For each field, define a reading zone or a set of reading zones on the document. The recognition methods available for zone reading include OCR engines, bar code recognition, and optical mark detection (OMR). Typically, zone analysis yields a single candidate, but with multiple reading zones per field, a set of candidates can be obtained.
Zone analysis only requires the evaluation step if there are multiple candidates. You can then use either Brainware evaluation or custom evaluation methods in scripts.
