<p>The present invention is a system and method for performing document recognition and processing in a distributed computing environment. The invention uses applications which are remotely located from one or more users and may be accessed via a network. One or more users utilize terminals including computers (202), facsimile machines (214), and/or scanners (212) to transmit documents to be processed to computer software applications (206) which process the documents at a network processing location. Once the documents have been processed, the processed documents are transmitted to the users according to one or more preferences associated with a user identification and/or authentication which may be determined by either a network server (218) or an application server (222). Users utilizing a computer terminal make use of various data transfer programs capable of transferring document data over a network to an application server at a remote location and receiving processed document data via a network.</p> |
