The software enables users to develop check processing applications that can accept inputs from standard document scanners without requiring a special check scanner. The software can interpret and OCR multiple MICR lines from any JPG, Tiff, or PDF check image. Additionally, the software helps in framing and deskewing the check for the deposit.

With ClearCheck21, you can OCR the MICR line and parse the fields, extract and isolate the check image from the overall image, and prepare the check image for remote deposit in a Check21 Cash Letter File. ClearCheck21 also offers the optional ClearCheck21 IQA engine, which allows financial institutions and depositors to obtain the required Image QA metrics.
The ABA fields, including Routing, Routing Checksum, EPC, Amount, OnUs, and Auxiliary OnUs, are available in the raw format, as well as parsed and interpreted according to ABA rules described in ANSI X9.100* 160* 1:2004 (formerly X9.13). The Check Number and Account number fields are obtained according to common usage convention. Each field value is available in ANSI X9.100* 180* 2006 (formerly X9.37) format or in raw format, as well as ABA compliance flag, confidence level, coordinates and skew angle. Since complete MICR line value is available, parsing for non ABA compliant documents can be implemented by developers.
With ClearCheck21MICR Reader engine, you can read poor quality images in a virtual reject repair process that does not require physical rescan. You can also extract the correctly framed check image from the image page, in any orientation, be it horizontal, vertical, diagonal or skewed. Images may be grayscale, or bitonal in any resolution. Additionally, you can parse and interpret the data, for US checks, according to ABA rules.
ClearCheck21 also allows you to obtain the unparsed data for non-US checks and read multiple MICR on the check and the IRD of a substitute check. Lastly, it accepts TIFF, PDF, JPG and X9 Image Cash Letter files for input. Overall, this software provides a reliable and efficient solution for check processing applications.
