OnlineGiving.org Vision AI Check Scanning: Enhanced Handwritten Dollar Amount Detection

We’re excited to announce significant enhancements to the OnlineGiving.org Vision AI check scanning algorithm, driven by valuable user feedback. This update improves the system’s accuracy in detecting handwritten dollar amounts, bolstering reliability and safety in check processing.

Key Enhancements Include:

• Improved Recognition Capabilities: Enhanced detection of complex patterns, including dashes, fractions, partial fractions, excessive commas, and multiple decimals.
• Advanced Safety Checks: The algorithm now cross-references the parsed numeric amount with the long-form handwritten amount for checks over $10,000. If a high-value check has a low match score, the suggested amount will be left blank, prompting manual entry by church administrators. This minimizes potential errors in processing large checks.
• Low-Value Check Precision: For checks detected with low dollar amounts and low confidence scores, the system similarly returns a blank value, allowing administrators to input the amount manually and prevent discrepancies.
• Cloud-Based, Continuous Improvement: As part of our commitment to seamless user experiences, these updates are deployed in the cloud. No manual updates are required from church administrators, ensuring that enhancements and monitoring are always current.

This update addresses prior concerns related to incorrect large-amount suggestions and anomalies caused by dashes or slashes, refining our check processing to be safer and more reliable. With these improvements, OnlineGiving.org continues to provide a robust, cloud-based platform where user feedback helps drive meaningful innovations. Together, we enhance accuracy and trust across our church network.

Thank you for your input and continued support in making our tools more effective and secure!

	$59.24	The check writer didn't include any decimal amount and instead included a fraction with only a numerator. The exact amount was parsed out by OnlineGiving.org.
	$100.00	The check writer included a decimal with a fraction and the fraction only has a numerator. The exact amount was parsed out by OnlineGiving.org.
	$100.00	The check writer included a neatly written amount with decimal and digits to the right of the decimal. The exact amount was parsed out by OnlineGiving.org.
	$1523.25	The check writer included a neatly written amount with decimal, comma and digits to the right of the decimal. The exact amount was parsed out by OnlineGiving.org.

	$354.10	The check writer included a neatly written amount with decimal and digits to the right of the decimal. The exact amount was parsed out by OnlineGiving.org.
	BLANK	The check writer included neatly written digits but included a fraction with a upward slash making the 30 run into the 00 for 3000/100. Additionally, not shown here, the check written amount was not ledgable and for saftey reasons OnlineGiving.org returns a blank value to avoid errored amount.
	BLANK	The check writer included neatly written digits but included a fraction with an 100 denominator which looks like 00/050. For saftey reasons OnlineGiving.org returns a blank value to avoid errored amount.
	$200.00	The check writer used somewhat neat amount but used two decimals instead of a single decimal. Digits to the right of the last decimal included. The exact amount was parsed out by OnlineGiving.org.
	$100.00	The check writer wrote a neat 100 followed by a fraction with only a numerator. The fraction line is curly. The exact amount was parsed out by OnlineGiving.org.
	$160.00	The check writer wrote neatly and included a fraction with only a numerator. The exact amount was parsed out by OnlineGiving.org.
	BLANK	The check writer wrote neatly with a fraction with only a numerator. However, the numerator first zero near the 100 and not over the fraction line. For saftey reasons OnlineGiving.org returns a blank value to avoid errored amount.
	$250.00	The check writer included a decimal with a fraction and the fraction only has a numerator. The exact amount was parsed out by OnlineGiving.org.
	$50.00	The check writer included a decimal with a fraction and the fraction only has a numerator. The exact amount was parsed out by OnlineGiving.org.
