ICR Intelligent Character Recognition. The ability of software to recognize and translate handwritten characters into machine-readable text.

Image The digitized representation of a picture, graphic, or document.

Import The process of loading existing electronic image files into the system or application.

Indexing
The process of assigning descriptive data to a captured document (e.g., name, date, location, transaction number, customer ID), either by having a worker type in terms or by having software extract them automatically, so it can be located and retrieved easily at a later time.

Information Management Information management (IM) is the collection and management of information from one or more sources and the distribution of that information to one or more audiences. This sometimes involves those who have a stake in, or a right to that information. Management means the organization of and control over the structure, processing and delivery of information. Information management entails organizing, retrieving, acquiring and maintaining information. It is closely related to and overlapping with the practice of Data Management.

Input Management Input management is a term coined by a capture company in 2005 in an attempt to differentiate their products from those of their competitors. In fact, input management is merely another term for document capture and data capture from paper and electronic sources.

Input management does not focus on the difficult problem of intelligently identifying the important pieces of information on the incoming documents and forms. For example, on an invoice, it does not intelligently identify the vendor, address, items, prices, payment terms, and so on, and it does not match the invoices with the corresponding purchase orders.

ISIS Image and Scanner Interface Specification. A driver used primarily with production scanners. First released in 1990 by Pixel Translations (now a part of EMC).
