BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates generally to forms processing technology and more particularly to a system and method to create test materials that can evaluate and help improve systems that recognize handprinted fields.

[0004] Forms processing technology can encompass many types of systems and include many steps including capturing hand-printed data from questionnaires and putting the data into a computer. Many organizations doing forms processing use traditional “heads-down” keying from paper (KFP); and “heads-up” keying from image (KFI).
