Hello,

I'm trying to evaluate OCRopus' suitability for reading the MICR strip
of data found on the bottom of printed checks.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MICR

I experimented a little with the TakOCR package, which led to decent
untrained results on miscellaneous printed text, but nonsense when
trying to read the routing/account/check numbers.

On the plus side, it's a small set of potential characters, almost all
numbers, in a uniform typeface. On the minus side, the characters
which aren't numbers are delimiters not otherwise found in nature, and
apparently the standard E13B typeface is odd enough to stymie most
general-purpose OCR packages. I'd appreciate some guidance before
attempting to bend OCRopus to my will.

Thanks,

  -nat
