This paper presents a new hybrid approach for legal amount recognition on Italian bankchecks. It exploits the consideration that a legal amount can be described as a sequence of \\\\\\'core\\\\\\' groups of words separated by suitable \\\\\\'separator\\\\\\' words. Therefore, an analytical strategy is used to perform amount segmentation into \\\\\\'core\\\\\\' groups of words that are then recognized according to a global approach. For this purpose, lexical and syntactical apriori knowledge of the domain of application is used both for amount segmentation and recognition. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the new approach.
