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

one quick note here... if you're using fax... efaxdeveloper.com has the whole package... they will generate the datamatrix barcode via a servlet for you, and they will check incoming fax for a barcode. the api passes you an xml packet via http post (there are other methods available) that contains

I don't know what your budget is but we have used these in several document management solutions and they seem to be pretty idiot proof. Plus you can collect data and do ocr. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/15179-15179-64195-12126-64404-3330619.html Dave On Dec 5, 2007, at

Then press send. (The copy machines I have seen don't have good ways of typing in much beyond just numbers, so if they had to type in the domain name too for the email address, that would be a deal breaker--nobody would do it.) A few years back, I worked a little with Xerox Docushare and

you should use a barcode ... particularly a datamatrix barcode, which is much more robust than most. i've done this using efaxdeveloper.com (which comes with this feature), but have been looking into using this to produce the barcodes: http://www.java4less.com/barcodes/barcodes.php and this to

Does anyone know of any ocr solutions that can be made to work with ColdFusion? What I'd like to do is have documents scanned and emailed to a coldFusion server and then OCR'ed to find a person's name or account number. The number will be used to match the document to a database record

What I actually plan to do is get a copy machine/scanner combination with a sheet feeder that can email scanned documents. Then get one that automatically does OCR! Xerox has solutions that do this. All you have to do is put the paper in. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software
