The difference between a form designed for machine reading and one that is not, is usually a reduction of uncertain characters by 60%
Or they use legacy equipment because it was cheaper or more convenient, rather than looking for what would give them the best performance. Form Design Form design is another regular stumbling block, and a good example of how simple factors can impact the outcome
Improvement ideas include better form design, use of color dropout, understanding field vs. character recognition, use of context, dictionaries and tri-grams, etc
Accuracy can also be further increased through improved practices in form design and preparation, context and sensitivity, database cross validation, and other techniques
Some of the NIGOs can be improved with better form design. Ultimately, this classification would be a judgment of the project team doing the analysis. 4
It also can be challenging to ensure that the soft and hard copies of an InfoPath form look the same as each other – and since InfoPath uses a table-based construction that positions objects relative to one another, forms design and maintenance can be complicated because when one object moves, they all move!
