i still don't see the point in doing this with OCR. it just seems like overkill, and more trouble than what it's worth. if all you're needing is an account number to associate the documents with, generate a datamatrix barcode containing the account number, and when the salesperson is scanning in the documents, just make sure that the sheet containing the barcode is the coversheet, or is on the account info sheet. scan them all in as a single tif or pdf (probably better just to fax and use some fax on demand solution to generate the pdf / tif file) ... and have the java4less 'vision' barcode reader run as a CF scheduled task every 5 minutes or so looking for files to consume and attach to accounts. (or setup a gateway as a directory watcher?) just be sure to have a manual process built in for pending files that did not get recognized for whatever reason so that you can put some eyes on them.
