Hey Guys,

I looked around the forum and googled a bit and didn't see anyone
discussing this so please forgive me if this has already been
answered.

I am working on a small project to digitize some records. I have been
experimenting with tesseract and think it would be the answer to my
needs. I need to create some sort of template for the documents that I
am scanning in and have tesseract export the data from specific
locations (I could pass pixels or something along those lines) on the
scanned form then output the data in a CSV format.

Ex: Form has customer First Name, Last Name, Date of Service, and a
List of Items with Quantity and Price.

Is there a way I could get tesseract to output a CSV file in the
following format:

last name, first name, date of service, item id, item desc, quantity,
price
last name, first name, date of service, item id, item desc, quantity,
price
last name, first name, date of service, item id, item desc, quantity,
price

This is the first document I would need to do, but there ate about 3
others I would like to do as well in the future.

I may be way over my head for this one. If tesseract doesn't have the
capability built in does anyone know of a way I could make this
happen? It would save me 100's of hours and I would be very grateful.
