[edit] Zip codes
The web page pete's history gives 1965 as the year the United States Postal Service first used OCR to read zip codes.--Rethunk
[edit] Open source programs
Are there any open source OCR programs available?

- I see that http://simpleocr.com/ is free for "personal use"; is it really open source?
[edit] CJK Support?
This article doesn't mention anything about OCR support for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean though that information would be very valuable, espescially if there is free software with CJK support. Theshibboleth 00:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MICR
The reference to MICR seems strangely disjointed, as though it is written in the context of human reading rather than machine reading. I am mindful to amend it. Would anyone object? Tom 00:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
I am proposing the merge. Neither article is unduly long and it would be much more convenient to the reader to have all the relevant information in one place. BlueValour 17:22, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
