I’m researching batch document processing, something with OCR capability to export data to database. In my two hour search, I found some open source stuff. But nothing of valueable.
So far, I found three candidates, and they are all Windows products.
- Abbyy - this seems to be the most comprehensive. It has many products, and a version for Linux too.
- OmniPage
- FormStorm
Each package has shrink wrap version and SDK for development. Need to investigate further for difference.
I’ve worked with Cardiff TeleForms for about a decade. It is great for forms processing and allows customization with VBA scripting. It also includes some features such as auto export to databases, text files and some document management systems.
Are you looking for a single system – or to become a reseller and start selling the product? I am not a reseller of TeleForm; however, I know a few real good people to work with.
