Can you read the below text?
(A) ICR (Inteligent Charactre Recogniiton) techonlogy is the idael solutoin for msot compelx and vooluminus fomrs prossecing jobs. This esay-to-configrue data capturnig soltioun lets you extcrat biusness-critcal informtion from Forms for furhter use in extrenal Databsee Aplication, Docment Mangaement, Workfolw, Biusness Procses Menagemant, Contnet Mangaement and other Infomration Managmeent Systmes.
Normal Text:: ICR technology is the ideal solution for most complex and voluminous forms processing jobs. This easy-to-configure data capturing solution lets you extract business-critical information from Forms for further use in external Database Application, Document Management, Workflow, Business Process Management, Content Management and other Information Management Systems.
Now try this (little challenging…lets see…)

If you can read paragraph (B) also then just imagine that in the first attempt you were able to make sense of a totally messy paragraph, and this is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as whole.
Now similar technology is being used to enhance the power of ICR technology to make it more robust and accurate, this technology is called IWR (Intelligent Word Recognition) and is breakthrough in reading not only printed handwritten information but cursive handwriting as well. ICR works on character by character but IWR works with full words or sentences.
IWR is actually not replacement of conventional ICR but is mainly for free forms and hard to recognize data fields that are challenge to ICR technology.
You still don’t believe this? Then try to press the below mentioned numeric keys as a text message in your mobile phone with dictionary feature enabled (the same technology is used in your mobile phones also, and you already have it with you).

Note: Below is the actual paragraph for those who were not able to read.
(B) It is a known fact that organizations (government or private) are moving towards working through structured way of data representation, but the fact is that, in spite of availability of structured forms, it is not being used as it was designed for. A simple example is of the Telecom industry where all Customer Application Forms (CAF) are designed in structured form but no organization till date uses automated data extraction process like ICR technology for data capture.

Organizations are now more concerned about greater efficiency with low cost of operations, a great composition for win-win scenario. Every organization uses paper documents in some way to run their day to day business and is also putting its best efforts to reduce paper usage without affecting its business while trying to improve the efficiency at same time. The best method to achieve the said goal is digitization and automation of the complete business process. Automation through BPM (Business Process Management) solution and digitization through DMS (Document Management System) solutions will improve the process time drastically and eliminate the use of paper documents respectively, a win-win situation.
Basic input for any automation or digitization process is to scan the documents (to eliminate the dependency on paper documents) and capturing of contents on paper documents (to run the process based on the contents mentioned on the paper documents), but the cost of operations and wrong selection of software/ hardware results in dropping the great idea of progress through automation in about 60%-70% of the cases.
In my earlier articles like “Document Quality Analyzer: Automated Quality Checking without Operators “, “DIGITIZATION OUTPUT: Operator, Not Scanner, Defines Production”, “SaaS (Software as a Service) – Software on Subscription Based Model”, “DIGITIZATION – King Without Crown of Business Universe”, “DIGITIZATION REDEFINED – Digital Camera as Book Scanner”, “Data Capture/Entry without Operators (ICR Technology)”, we have shown the methods to bring down digitization cost, but the cost of content capture is still a cause of concern. The simple reason for this is the lack of awareness about great technologies such as ICR (for automated capturing of hand written contents), OMR (automated capturing of bubbles, check marks etc) and OCR (automated capturing of machine printed contents).
Availability of ICR technology has helped to capture content from documents for many years, but the basic requirement of this technology is, documents in structured format (fixed position of text on the documents), whereas about 90% of the documents are semi structured or unstructured, but the advancement in ICR technology has now shown the way to cater even semi/unstructured documents, now even running handwriting can also to captured by the software and saved as digital content. ICR technology is now so flexible that even floating text (if the position of text varies in every document) can also be captured and saved as structured digital content.
Now the full cycle of digitization i.e. “Scanning” and “Content Capture” is completely automated and completed with minimal expenditure, while resulting in huge improvements in efficiency of business processes. A true example of the “KAIZEN” method.
