The invention relates to a method and a device for reading the postcodes of addresses on mail, said postcode (300) pinpointing the address to a part of a large road or several small roads. After an unsuccessful first read attempt (310), in which addresses could not be read clearly in the OCR unit (130), only the parts of the postcode (300) that roughly identify the addresses are first video-encoded (320) by operators employed for this purpose. The respective encoded result is then fed to the OCR unit (130) for a second rea d attempt (340), which takes into account the video-encoded result. If the rea d result of the OCR unit (130) is again unclear, the remaining parts of the postcodes (300) that identify the addresses in more detail are video-encoded (330) by operators employed for this purpose and in order to validate the result are respectively fed to the OCR unit (130) for a third read attempt (350), which takes into account the video-encoded result of the complete postcode (300).
