An earlier paper described a high speed, lexically driven OCR called GEOCR. This paper expands that work by describing the effects of lexical content, structure and processing on the performance of GEOCR as a word recognition engine. Word recognition performance is shown to be enhanced by the application of an appropriate lexicon. Recognition speed is essentially independent of the details of lexical content provided the intersection of the occurrences of words in the document and the lexicon is high. Word recognition accuracy is dependent on both intersection and specificity of the lexicon.
