character recognition (ICR) is the computer translation
of manually entered text characters into machine-readable
characters. In practice, characters are entered in
a rough printed form from an I/O device, and the
image of the captured data entry is then analyzed
and translated into the machine-readable characters.
ICR is similar to optical character recognition (OCR)
and is sometimes used in combination with OCR in form
processing.
