Recognising handwritten values is one of the most difficult challenges FormPro can be confronted with. In order to achieve optimal results with handwriting you should follow our advice:
- If you can influence the form design please separate the characters to be entered by boxes or vertical lines.
- If possible, print the boxes in red or green and use a scanner capable of applying a drop-out color. If this should not be feasible print the boxes in a very light gray tone so they don’t appear in the scanned black-and-white image.
- Design your form in a way that the handwritten fields are not too small or to too densely spaced.
- Restrict the character set of each handwritten zone as strictly as possible (see Zone Properties / Character Set).
