UNIVERSAL PRINT READER TECHNIQUES.
Abstract
The objective of this program was to provide engineering services directed toward standardization of typewriter fonts and related features for optical scanning application. Primary emphasis was placed on investigation and evaluation of existing typewriter fonts and includes an evaluation of a type font developed by Subcommittee X3-1 on Character Recognition under American Standards Association Sectional Committee X3-1. Investigations were by computer programmed assessment of each font using a technique developed partly under Contract AF30(602)-2642 sponsored by Rome Air Development Center (AD-404 846) and partly under continuing Link sponsored character recognition efforts. Evaluations were accomplished by extending the vocabulary capacity of a Link Multi-font Page Reader to permit machine reading of a significant volume of typewriter-prepared documents. Reject and error rates were determined in this manner for each of several type styles considered. (Author)
