10. A system for providing characters and character groups from a roundel image comprising: a region analyzer for vertically-aligning electronically represented text in said roundel image; determining a point at which said roundel image starts; segmenting the vertically-aligned text into characters and character groups; and dividing said roundel image into sections according to said point; a pattern locater marking each of said character groups as flipped if said character group meets pre-determined criteria; and marking said character groups in one of said sections as unflipped if none of said character groups in said one section is flipped, or if said one section includes predetermined text that is unflipped; and an image analyzer creating an image by rearranging the underlying representation of said character groups if there are said character groups that are marked as flipped; and segmenting said image into new characters; and a provider for providing the new characters to an electronic sink according to the segmented image.

The system as in claim 10 wherein said character processor further: combines adjacent characters to form combined character groups; computes combined confidence values for each of the combined character groups; computes flipped combined confidence values for each of the flipped combined character groups based on the flipped character confidences; marks one the combined character groups as flipped after comparing if the flipped combined confidence value for the associated flipped combined character group is greater by a pre-determined amount than the combined confidence value for the corresponding character group; and performs pre-determined functions on the combined character groups according to the character length of the combined character groups.
