Does anyone have experience with scanned data input such as IRIS Capture Pro for forms to automatically perform data entry into a database or database format from scanned forms?
Did you know that the latest updates of R:Archive 7.6 and 8.0 include the added feature of "OCR". When turned on (OCR ON), you can either define the page(s) or page coordinates to capture the specific data? . OCR ON enables OCR when saving the scanned document . OCR_PAGES enables OCR when saving the scanned document . OCR_REGION left#top#right#bottom specifies the OCR region, in pixels -- Example: 01a (For R:BASE 7.6 for Windows) PLUGIN RArchive76.RBL vResult + |OUTPUT_FORMAT PDF + |OUTPUT_FILE Inv_158256.PDF + |SCAN_IMAGE_COUNT 1 + |SHOW_WINDOW ON + |SHOW_SCANNER_UI ON + |OPEN_AFTER_SAVE ON + |OCR ON + |OCR_PAGES 1,2-4,7 RETURN -- Example: 01b (For R:BASE Turbo V-8 for Windows) PLUGIN RArchive80.RBL vResult + |OUTPUT_FORMAT PDF + |OUTPUT_FILE Inv_158256.PDF + |SCAN_IMAGE_COUNT 1 + |SHOW_WINDOW ON + |SHOW_SCANNER_UI ON + |OPEN_AFTER_SAVE ON + |OCR ON + |OCR_PAGES 1,2-4,7 RETURN -- Example: 02a (For R:BASE 7.6 for Windows) PLUGIN RArchive76.RBL vResult + |OUTPUT_FORMAT PDF + |OUTPUT_FILE Inv_158256.PDF + |SCAN_IMAGE_COUNT 1 + |SHOW_WINDOW ON + |SHOW_SCANNER_UI ON + |OPEN_AFTER_SAVE ON + |OCR ON + |OCR_PAGES 1 + |OCR_REGION 10 20 40 30 RETURN -- Example: 02b (For R:BASE Turbo V-8 for Windows) PLUGIN RArchive80.RBL vResult + |OUTPUT_FORMAT PDF + |OUTPUT_FILE Inv_158256.PDF + |SCAN_IMAGE_COUNT 1 + |SHOW_WINDOW ON + |SHOW_SCANNER_UI ON + |OPEN_AFTER_SAVE ON + |OCR ON + |OCR_PAGES 1 + |OCR_REGION 10 20 40 30 RETURN The captured data then can be used to INSERT a row, UPDATE the existing data in a row, or can be global variable(s) to PRINT a custom report as a pre-printed form or "Page Style" report.
