1. A computer-implemented method for data identification and extraction from a form, the method comprising: controlling a scanner to scan a paper text form comprising data containment locations and data therein; controlling a data field identifier of a processor spatially separated from said scanner to identify one or more of vertical and horizontal lines found on said form, and intersections thereof to identify data containment locations on said form; controlling a recognition engine of said processor to identify data in said data containment locations on said form; controlling a classifier of said processor to classify each of said data containment locations by performing a match between a first data of said data containment locations and a second data; and controlling said processor to identify data containment locations of interest based on said classification and returning at least one of said identified data containment locations, identified data of said data containment locations, and said data of said data containment locations of interest, via a display or printer.
