RE: [U2] Scanner Connection

We do something similar in wIntegrate with an ActiveX control (which we
wrote in VB6 using ImagXpress controls). 

Not sure if that's possible in Accuterm but I would expect it would be.

Subject: [U2] Scanner Connection

I have a client using Accuterm with telnet sessions for all the users.
One
user has a Bell  Howell multi-page scanner that gets around 100 pages
per day
of work orders etc.

That user's emulator is Ve-Client from Visual Pick and they want to
re-write
the app with Accuterm and some VB scripting if necessary. My question is
where
would someone go to find out how this can be done.

It presently is done in VE with a 9,500 line program (4GL generated
code) that
has oodles of includes and gets very busy. It still doesn't do what I
would
like and that is for the scanner to write the scanned docs to a temp
folder, I
would use Accuterm to load in those filenames and offer them to the user
for
proper pc-filenaming to attach to the application.

I would appreciate any insight on this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

We scan about 5000 documents a day. These are then feed into an optical system 
for storage.
We have written apps that use these images.

We would never think about trying to write a scanning app. There are so many 
good ones on the market, why try to reinvent the wheel?

A good pakage should be able to do OCR.

Les.

RE: [U2] Scanner Connection

2004-12-01 Thread Adrian Matthews
We evaluated several off the shelf packages before writing our own. The main 
issues were that no single package had all the mandatory features that our 
users and regulators required.  

With 30 years worth of documents plus emails, PDFs, faxes etc etc most vendors 
ran for the hills when asked to store that amount of information. Universe 
doesn't even blink at it.

I agree that it makes sense to buy off the shelf in most cases but it can be 
much cheaper in certain circumstances to do it yourself. At #600 (for the 
scanning ActiveX control) plus a month of my time it was a bargain as we could 
re-use the existing Universe device licenses.
