Has anyone else been having problems with the list missing emails, or coming through 8+ hours after it was originally posted? I don't have the original message for this thread. The web archive shows it was posted around lunch today.
Anyway, I am going to need to implement something like this soon. Our images will come in via email, then I need to OCR a customer ID out of it and import appropriately. I was looking at JavaOCR (http://javaocr.com) and Asprise OCR, also written in Java. So they should easily integrate with ColdFusion. Neither are free. There are also several (free) open source OCR packages: GOCR http://jocr.sourceforge.net/ Ocrad http://www.gnu.org/software/ocrad/ocrad.html Tesseract _http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2006/08/announcing-tesseract-ocr.html_ But I have not looked into any of them yet. But the barcode stuff Jim Rising mentioned (glad I checked the archive, as I don't have that email either...) looks very interesting, and it looks like its a lot cheaper than OCR. My images are actually coming in via fax, so OCR'ing that quality of an image may be a challenge. I think the barcode may perform better. -Ryan Dave Watts wrote: >> Does anyone know of any ocr solutions that can be made to >> work with ColdFusion?
