Thanks! We've actually had other projects in production for a while
now, but this is the first one that is publicly-available. :-)
Yes, the domains in which this kind of enabling capability applies are
legion, IMO. Medical is just a little trickier than most, insofar as
there's often scanning involved (which I simply can't imagine ever
getting involved in, although that's solved fairly easily with some
straightforward partnerships) and handwritten stuff all over the place
-- but yes, medical records is definitely one of the largest of our
eventual target markets.
By all means, join up on the mailing list or follow the @docuharvest
twitter feed if you're interested in hearing of our progress over time
-- I doubt I'll bother the Clojure community with DocuHarvest news
past this initial thread.
Thanks,
- Chas

Welcome to the club of production ready apps in Clojure :)))
I see a bunch of opportunities for this kind of service in the medical
field especially when you get that image to text stuff in play.
Our customers have walls filled of medical record files and getting
these in
some form of electronic format is one of their biggest concerns.

Thanks very much, esp. for the 'nice looking' compliment. I've heard
otherwise as well, so we'll have to see what happens when I get a
"real" designer in to take a crack at things -- not a super-high
priority at the moment, since the site is usable without wincing, at
the very least :-)
Anyway, the frontend and job processing apparatus consists of:
- Clojure
- Compojure
- Enlive
- Clutch to interface to CouchDB (which we abuse as a message queue,
among other things)
- jquery + a few plugins
- YUI only for the file uploading + a pile of js/html/css to make a
reasonable queue UI
The actual document processing consists of a fork of PDFTextStream
(which currently sits at a mix of ~80/20 Java/clojure, with the
latter
number reliably climbing), plus a helluva lot of other Clojure bits.
I suspect that, for the purposes of DocuHarvest, I'll never have to
write any Java (although ironically, I may end up having to write
some
C, unless someone comes up with a native Clojure backend in the next
few months!).
Cheers,
- Chas

Awesome! Congrats on the launch - looks like an awesome service
( and nice looking as well! ) - is that compojure on the backend?
