is this for US banks ? I'm assuming not.

>It provided us the coordinates of all the texts and all we had to do was look for texts similar to an Account number and IFSC from a cheque book. Using some regex it was easy to find closely matching strings

Could you explain what you mean by this ? We are trying to read shopping receipts, but I have ZERO background in image processing... so have been trying to figure out what to do. I have been trying to use Google Vision API though.

>The one which worked best for us was a custom designed filter using Otsu’s Thresholding principle.

Is this where you pre-preocess the image to make it readable ? How does one do it - are these specialized tools or can I do this in python (like http://www.scipy-lectures.org/packages/scikit-image/auto_exa...)

For receipts, I recommend: http://ocrsdk.com/ which is the online product of Abbyy. They also have a blog post giving you some ideas: http://blog.ocrsdk.com/top-5-pains-for-developers-in-receipt... Has anyone successfully implemented it themselves for receipts or invoices? What was your strategy?

I can probably help, send me an email.
