- What is the best solution for processing order forms in a PC environment?
-
- Scanning hardware: a IBM-PC compatible with an HP-IIc scanner.
-
- Is the best approach?
-
- a) use an OCR program (which one?) and setup templates
- b) a dedicated form processing application (does one exist?)
- c) manually type the information in?
- d) something else
-
- How should the form be structured to make it easily read?
- (i.e. Fill in the blank, circle number,..)
-
- The order form may also contain an image.
-
- Is there a program which can handle both, form processing & image
- storage/enhancement or should these be broken into 2 steps?
