1. A method for facilitating recognition of glyph-based characters in an electronic image, the electronic image including representations of glyph-based characters, the method comprising: identifying a line of glyph-based character representations in the electronic image; isolating a plurality of glyph-based character representations from the line of glyph-based character representations; loading a set of glyph-based character patterns into a computer memory; loading the plurality of glyph-based character representations into the computer cache; and recognizing the plurality of glyph-based character representations as a batch using the set of glyph-based character patterns of the computer memory while one or more of the plurality of character representations are in the computer cache.

The method of claim 1 , wherein isolating the plurality of glyph-based character representations includes: detecting character gaps in the line of glyph-based character representations; creating a histogram of distances for the detected character gaps; constructing a graph according to the detected character gaps; assigning a penalty to arcs of the graph wherein the penalty is based in part on the histogram of distances; and selecting a path in the graph associated with the character cells based on said penalty and arcs of the graph.
