[PHP] Re: simple OCR in php

[Zeb Packard]

Linux journal had an article for tesseract

code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr

the files needed to be cleaned up first though (contrast black text
against white background), so understanding gimp or some other equally
functional command-line image editor is essential. Suggested
alternative was netpbm.sourceforge.net for image editing and for OCR
the alternative was ocrad. It was suggested that the images be scanned
in at 150dpi or greater.

[PHP] Re: simple OCR in php

[Manuel Lemos]

Hello,

on 06/29/2007 01:24 PM Ray said the following:
 Hello all,
 I am looking for a way to incorporate some simple OCR into a php script. The 
 user will bulk scan a pile of invoices. I want the php script to look at each 
 invoice and read a number off the invoice. The image will then be renamed, 
 and be organized into a directory and the file name will be added to a 
 database. (all of these steps are straight forward once the number is read.) 
 I have no problem with a system that requires a special OCR font and/or some 
 sort of registration mark to help locate the Invoice number. Can anybody tell 
 me of any tools out there that can do this?

I think you are looking for something like this:
