RAF Technology takes address recognition
to the next level
Redmond, WA –-August, 2004 –RAF
Technology announced that it has released Version 3.0 of
its Argosy PostTM
address recognition software for Multi-Line Optical
Character Recognition (MLOCR) sorting systems used by
postal and commercial mail sorting operations.
Featuring Adaptive IntelligenceTM
Argosy Post 3.0 takes read rates to the highest levels
possible. Adaptive Intelligence dynamically tunes the
reader to the unique characteristics of each mail piece
as it reads it. Complementary ProcessingTM
has been extended to incorporate all stages of
recognition, assuring prompt, accurate address
finalizations. In addition, new noise removal algorithms
provide reduced sensitivity to backgrounds and patterns,
logos and graphics, while still preserving performance
on faint and blurred text. The software even locates
address blocks partially obscured by the envelope
window.
“Once again we’re proud to take
address recognition to the next level,” said Bill
Transue, CEO of RAF Technology. “With fewer rejects,
lower costs, and faster job completion, we’re confident
that users will see their results rise to the next level
of profitability and customer satisfaction.”
“Argosy Post 3.0 represents a
tremendous value. Read rates have soared, so customers
will realize the greatest savings possible,” added John
Hofer, Marketing Director at RAF. “That is why we say
that Argosy Post 3.0 is recognizably better than ever.”
To ensure maximum read rates and
product reliability, Argosy Post 3.0 was rigorously
tested on several million images collected in a wide
range of field locations. Statistical industrial process
control methods were implemented to assure that
recognition improvement on some images does not degrade
overall performance.
RAF Technology is a privately held
firm that provides business and government with
recognition and verification technology for postal and
security applications. |
