Abstract

The present invention is a system and method for performing document recognition and processing in a distributed computing environment. The invention uses applications which are remotely located from one or more users and may be accessed via a network. One or more users utilize terminals including computers, facsimile machines, and/or scanners to transmit documents to be processed to a network or a network server which in turn transmits the documents to various computer software applications which process the documents at a network processing location. Once the documents have been processed, the processed documents are transmitted to the users according to one or more preferences associated with a user identification and/or authentication which may be determined by either a network server or an application server. Users utilizing a computer terminal make use of various data transfer programs capable of transferring document data over a network to an application server at a remote location and receiving processed document data via a network.
