Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method and a system for recognising routing information on letters and parcels by means of OCR reading and video coding. The aim of the invention is to provide a more rapid, efficient system of reading the information. To this end, when one of the automatic stages of the OCR process fails to produce clear results, the process is paused in its current state. In order to obtain clear results for this stage of the process, a video coding request stating the present results and the operations to be executed is automatically conveyed to one or several video coding points, based on the clear and unclear results/intermediate results obtained thus far. The clear video coding results replace the unclear results, the paused OCR process stage is successfully completed and the next stage is started.
