It reads the text image information on the printed matter through optical input devices such as scanners, cameras, and digital cameras, and uses pattern recognition algorithms to analyze the morphological characteristics of the text to distinguish different characters. Then the OCR system identification software converts the image file into a text format, so that the user can edit the text in the computer system.

Humanized border inspection service at Ningbo Airport, French passenger Miss Elizabeth went to the verification station for border control inspection and handed her passport. The computer automatically recognizes the relevant information in the passport and immediately utters a fluent female voice in French: "Happy birthday to you, checking, please wait." The Chinese border police’s computer is so “humanized”! Miss Elizabeth was very happy and kept gratitude to the inspectors. She kissed her thanks when she walked through the passage.

Qian Junyan, director of the political office of the Ningbo Airport Border Inspection Office, introduced that this "voice automatic greeting system" for Miss Elizabeth's greeting birthday was developed by the police at the Ningbo Airport Border Inspection Station and has independently developed relevant computer software. It is currently in all airports in Zhejiang. Checkpoint application. It stores Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, English, French, Portuguese, Japanese, and Korean voices for eight male and female voices; through OCR technology, the system automatically recognizes passports of different countries, and according to Chinese and foreign traditional holiday customs, passengers’ birthdays, etc. Send greetings in different languages. For example, during the Spring Festival, the passengers will be issued a “Happy New Year, are checking, please wait” when they accept the verification. At Christmas, they will send out “Merry Christmas, checking, please wait” if it happens to be the birthday of the passenger. The system will automatically issue "Happy Birthday to you" and so on.

In addition to the "Voice Automatic Greeting System" software, they also developed the "Automatically Generated Legal Documents for On-Site Administrative Cases." After the system is put into use, it takes about 20 to 25 minutes to process a general illegal and irregular case. It now takes only 5 minutes. It can be done. All the legal documents and related written materials in the case are automatically issued by the system. The number of manual writing materials is greatly reduced, and the production time of legal documents is shortened by more than two-thirds.

The system was put into operation to eliminate problems such as non-standard writing, incomplete reference of legal provisions, misuse of legal documents, improper amount of fines, etc., effectively regulating the production of legal documents. What's more important is to reduce the psychological pressure caused by passengers handling cases and staying in ports for too long, reflecting the "people-oriented, professional, and safe" service concept.
