RE: FN-FORUM: Scanning and File creation

date posted 24th January 2006 10:37

I wrote a scanning & indexing application for a client who then resold
it on to a number of major distributors. It took in documents into a
bulk scanner (Fujitsu B&W one), created TIF's which were stored in a DB.
The user could then match them up against the known documents (it was to
match delivery notes with proof of delivery notes) by dragging &
dropping onto the appropriate location. Worked a treat. The company
itself use(d) a product called Eyes & Hands that let you define areas of
a document to capture and then auto-OCR, for things like Addresses, it'd
OCR them and then lookup in QAS to validate them - loads of bits like
that.

So I'm quite up with scanning hardware control and image manipulation in
software.

You mean some sort of OCR? Not something I've ever seen I'm afraid. I
did a major scanning project sometime ago, 50,000 trans, and set up a
renaming script, using quick keys, that took file names from a excel doc
and renamed the image files that were scanned in numerical order.
May something like that would be the answer?
