Zonal OCR is the process by which Optical Character Recognition OCR http www.webopedia.com TERM o optical character recognition.htm applications read specifically zoned text from a scanned image. Many batch document imaging applications allow the end user to identify and draw a zone on a sample image to be recognized. Once the zone has been established on the sample image, this zone will be applied to each image processed so that the data can be extracted from the image file and converted to a ASCII format. Zonal OCR helps to automate data extraction from digital images. However, zonal OCR, and OCR in general, is not entirely accurate and review of the extracted data will be required.

Main Optical character recognition Music OCR is the application of OCR optical character recognition to interpret sheet music or printed scores into editable and, often, playable form. Once captured digitally, the music can be saved in commonly used file formats, e.g. MIDI for playback and MusicXML for page layout . History Early research into recognition of printed sheet music was performed at the graduate level in the late 1960s at MIT and other institutions. ref cite paper author Pruslin, Dennis Howard title Automatic Recognition of Sheet Music date 1966 url http links.jstor.org sici?sici 0031 6016 197223 2F24 11 3A1 3C250 3AOCOPMA 3E2.0.CO 3B2 2 format PDF accessdate 2007 01 24 ref Successive efforts were made to localize and remove musical staff lines leaving symbols to be recognized and parsed. The first commercial music scanning product, MIDISCAN, was released in 1991 by SmartScore Musitek corporation. Unlike OCR of text, where words are parsed sequentially, music notation involves parallel elements, as when several voices are present along with unattached performance symbols positioned nearby. Therefore, the spatial relationship between notes, expression marks, dynamics, articulations and other annotations is an important part of the expression of the music. Modern music OCR packages have accuracy exceeding 99 when a clean scan is used and the notation is not exceptional e.g. unfilled voices, non standard symbology, etc. . ref http www.visiv.co.uk quote.htm ref Because music notation utilizes dots for staccato marks or to extend the value of a note, artifacts in the scan can lead to interpretation problems.
