An account payable department needs to collect and gather information from the receipts of its employees as part of their expense reporting process. Although many of the receipts follow specific patterns there are some images, such as handwritten receipts, that do not lend themselves to having their information gathered by automation and require a human to analyze the image for the data to be extracted.

Which of the following methods would be best suited for this type of data extraction?

A. Zonal

B. Click N Key

C. Locating by keyword
D. Locate with regular expressions

Explanation:
Click N Key is the fourth and final method of extracting data from a form is for the data entry operator to click the form. Data at that location is then extracted and placed into the active field. This is the least preferred approach because it is the most expensive (it requires a human to do the clicking), although it is reliable.

Note: There are four ways of extracting data from an image. They are ranked in order of preferable practice: Zonal, Locate with regular expressions, Locating by keyword, Click N Key
