A '''turnaround document''' is a document that has been output from a computer, some extra information potentially added to it, and then returned to become an input document. For example, meter cards are produced for collecting readings from [[gas meter]]s, photocopiers, water meters etc. These are filled in by the customer and then returned to the company for [[image scanner|scanning]] using ICR ([[Intelligent Character Recognition]]) so that the system can produce the [[Bill (payment)|bill]]s for the customer. Earlier versions used [[punched card]]s, sometimes with [[mark sense]] technology.<ref>https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/53248/turnaround-document</ref>
