More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a method and a device for reading the addresses of mailings with an OCR device and a video coding device. On an ambiguous reading result from the OCR device an extract is automatically generated with specified extraction rules from address alternatives as a partial result of the OCR process and the number of concurrent or non-concurrent extracts determined. When the number of the address alternatives does not exceed a maximum value, an extraction coding with the specified extraction rules is carried out with predominantly or only different extracts and a selection coding, for the address alternatives transmitted to the video coding device with the image, is carried out with predominantly or only the same extracts.
