Within the framework of the project aiming at the automatic processing of post cheques in French Post Financial establishments, the French Post Technical Research Department (SRTP) has started studying the automatic reading of cursive script amounts on cheque. We present the total processing sequence and in particular the part related to the retrieval of script information on the cheque. Indeed, pre-printed information (guiding lines, slashes, acronyms, typed information) and script information, which is the one to be identified, coexist on the cheque. The problem consists in retrieving the information to be processed from the cheque without damaging the information.
