•Case Study: The American Cancer Society Employs A2iA FieldReader And A2iA CheckReader For The Processing Of Registration Forms And Check Donations

By A2iA

The American Cancer Society sponsors several initiatives that increase cancer awareness and raise money for research and programs.

• Relay For Life is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs of the American Cancer Society. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds or parks and take turns walking or running laps.
• Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a noncompetitive walk to help fight breast cancer and provide hope to people facing the disease. Participation supports the American Cancer Society's lifesaving research, prevention, early detection, and support programs for thousands of patients and their families.

Both of these initiatives, as well as other Society-developed programs, require participant registration. Registration forms are completed by the participant and sent to the American Cancer Society for processing. The registration form used for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, for example, contains fields for the registrant's name and contact information as well as boxes that can be checked to further identity the participant as a team captain, a cancer survivor, a breast cancer survivor, etc. Like most registration forms, the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer registration form contains checkboxes, constrained handprint fields and fields for freeform cursive handwritten words. The American Cancer Society has developed an application, based on A2iA FieldReader, to automatically extract information contained in all form fields and checkboxes.
