Re: [U2] Large-scale scanner / OCR devices and interfaces to UniVerse {Unclassified}

[Don Kibbey]

I've been involved with scanning invoices in bulk for years with a
large law firm.  We don't do any sort of OCR on them, we simply tag
them with a barcode value used to link the image with the hand keyed
record.  UniVerse is simply the data repository.

My last experience with OCR type devices was with Hendrix machines way
back in the 80's.  Even then, they were pretty good at processing OCRA
type face documents for our customer (the US Military).  Today's OCR
products are much imporoved.

I would imagine your process will involve three stages, scan to pdf,
OCR system and then into UniVerse.  All three steps can be linked
together with simple directory transfers of the data.

Quality control will be the big issue.  You may find that you have to
task some poor soul to verify the OCR work prior to import into
UniVerse.

Hi, we to use the Readsoft product. We scan and OCR 1.25 million
invoices a year. I don't know if the product is available in NZ but if
it is I would recommend it.

We have a product from Readsoft (www.readsoft.se) that scans invoices
and converts these into a predefined file interface.

Dmne: [U2] Large-scale scanner / OCR devices and interfaces to UniVerse
{Unclassified}


Folks,

We have some process improvement people who are keen to reduce manual
key-boarding effort by setting up some large-scale scanner / OCR devices
and interfacing them to our UniVerse systems.
[I'd rather avoid the paper forms altogether and get XML streams from
the document originators, but ...]

Anyone got any experience on this kind of gear?
I'm clueless about this (Google next, I guess), so ideas on brand names
etc would be helpful.

Thanks


Mike
