HI folks,

I was wondering if there is a free scanning software(ActiveX control). I have this vb application and needs to use this scanning software to scan the documents and assign names to these documents.

Thanks

johnwm,

There are documents / standard form e.g.

Typed Applicant name
Name : Jack Brown


The word Name : will be a typed and a block will be created
where name will be hand written e.g. Jack Brown or whatever
the application is given.

Want to use VB / Active X or any other application by which it will scan and take only the word given in the hand written block and store it in database. When it stores in database it will not store the images, instead take words from the image and store in words.

Is there a way to do it ?

You'll need some fairly sophisticated OCR software to recognise handwriting - I don't have any suggestions
