An image-based transaction processing system (Fig. 1) employing automatic reading of machine-printed and handwritten financial amounts on transaction documents (Figs. 3-7) to enhance transaction balancing (Fig. 20) by reducing the number of transactions which have to be balanced by an operator. The automatic reader (Fig. 27,CAR) provides a second choice as well as a first choice for one or more digits. When an out-of-balance transaction is detected, one or more second choice digits are substituted for corresponding first choice digits in order to obtain automatic transaction balancing even though an automatically read amount is incorrect. |
