Answer: D
Optical character recognition (choice D) is used for
capturing handwritten data from forms and converting the
data to an electronic format. MICR is a specialized ink used
on checks (cheques) for the identification of the
instrument, and it is used in reader sorter units present in
bank clearinghouses. Intelligent voice recognition is not an
imaging technology and bar code readers read the bar codes
which identify a specific item (product).
