Method for automated quality control

摘要

A computer-implemented method and system for ensuring quality control over a group of test reports comprising identifying a plurality of areas within a test report that contain data elements, performing optical character recognition on the plurality of areas for each test report in the group of test reports to generate text corresponding to the content in the areas, comparing the content in the areas to corresponding data in a data file from a trusted source, and creating an output report based on the result of the comparison. The test reports may indicate educational test score results and personal identification information for test takers.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method of ensuring quality control of a printed document, comprising:
acquiring, using a processing system, an electronic image of the printed document; identifying, using the processing system, an identifier data field on the electronic image, the identifier data field being a first area of the electronic image that includes text that is configured to associate the printed document with a particular person, wherein the particular person is associated with intended text from a trusted source; identifying, using the processing system, a content data field on the electronic image, the content data field being a second area of the electronic image that includes text; saving a document configuration to a file, wherein the document configuration includes locations of the identifier data field and the content data field on the electronic image and a type of data for each of the identifier data field and the content data field; acquiring, using the processing system, identifier text and content text from the electronic image by performing optical character recognition on the identifier data field and on the content data field, respectively, wherein the identifier text and the content text are acquired based on the locations of the identifier data field and the content data field; accessing, using the processing system, the intended text from the trusted source based on the identifier text; comparing, using the processing system, the content text to the intended text, wherein the comparing is configured to determine whether the printed document includes the intended text, and wherein the comparing is based on the type of data for the identifier data field and the type of data for the content data field; and outputting, using the processing system, indicia of results of the comparison.
