1. A computer-implemented method for selecting at least one segmentation parameter for optical character recognition comprising: receiving, using one or more computing devices, an image having a character string that includes one or more characters; receiving, using the one or more computing devices, a character string identifying each of the one or more characters; automatically generating, using the one or more computing devices, at least one segmentation parameter; performing segmentation, using the one or more computing devices, on the image having the character string using the at least one segmentation parameter, wherein segmentation is configured to separate each character of the character string; determining, using the one or more computing devices, if a resultant segmentation satisfies an ASCII uniformity criteria; and if the resultant segmentation satisfies the ASCII uniformity criteria, selecting the at least one segmentation parameter.
