Indexing scanned documents has been done over and over and over and over and .... (Yip you guessed it over and over...., ad nauseam)

Example: http://www.metrofile.com/metrofile-solutions/enterprise-solutions/image-processing/digital-services/

You could always go the SharePoint and Kofax route.

Irispowerscan is a nice, but not inexpensive product, especially for high speed scanners. And no, I'm not connected to them, I just use the product.

Adobe Acrobat is quite successful - Use the trial, I hope they dont ask for your cc details beforehand - https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/how-to/ocr-software-convert-pdf-to-text.html

Once installed, right click image file and convert to pdf. Opening it in DC will then allow you to recognize text. Good luck.

Yea yea that's a good one that I use. I just wanted to build something so I can learn and thus in created a project for myself and one of the components is OCR

Ah okay, you can build something for me when you have the time. I'm the marketer and you're the developer and (we will make millions together, I promise.)

Turned out to be a lot easier than I thought. I should have googled first.

YES YOU SHOULD HAVE!

Always, always, always google first.

This is how people learn.

I'm out of my depth here regarding the topic at hand, but I think being more accommodating towards others' questions may be beneficial to us all without being derogatory.

I'm glad you managed to get somewhat of a solution Thor187. You probably should have googled first though.

Don't worry Netsrider they're teasing Thor, not being nasty.
