Mac Forum / General / Hardware / May 2006Scanning/ OCR solution for the storage of UK IR receipts and business records
I am looking for a Mac "OS X" based scanning and OCR solution for the storage of Inland Revenue receipts and business records. I need a reliable sheet feed scanner but I am wondering if I could make do with vendor supplied scanning/OCR software or if I should purchase Acrobat or such to process the scanned images. I still use Visioneer Paperport with OS9 for a lot of work, it is a great all round package for organizing all my scans, although as an OCR solution is was not nearly as useful as Acrobat. All in all I think it would have been just what I need for this new job, except for its propietory storage format. Is anybody able to recommend a good scanner plus scanning software? Any recommendations for organizing several thousand sheets of receipts? Are there any IR compliance issues? >I am looking for a Mac "OS X" based scanning and OCR solution There aren't any, now f.ck off you crossposting c.nt! > Any recommendations for organizing several thousand sheets of receipts? I don't know the size of the receipts, so I don't know if a flatbed scanner with autofeed would work for you. I use OmniPage for OCR work, but I think its name has changed. Being a left-pondian, I don't know anything about UK-specific revenue recordkeeping.

I get spam for it all the time. Sarah > Nope, it's still called OmniPage. I get spam for it all the time. I wouldn't trust spammers for your facts if I were you.

Well, I suppose you could call it 'legitimate' spam; I bought OP 10 a while back so they have me on their mailing list. The software didn't change its name, the company did - used to be ScanSoft - it's now known as Nuance for some reason. Sarah > No, no, Howard, not *THAT* kind of spam.

It IS still called OmniPage and the Mac version is OmniPage Pro X for Macintosh. Details are at <http://www.nuance.com/omnipage/mac/>. Unfortunately the light-weight (cheaper) version is only available for Windows.

There is a thread discussing the Fujitsu scansnap in the archives of this group - it was not too long ago. Google search is your friend. It scans to PDF and has a document holder for about 50 sheets, does double sided etc. - Mike > On 3/5/2006 5:05 PM, in article > 1hesarr.i3k9a91yj89j4N%fergus@twig.demon.co.uk, "Fergus McMenemie" [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > group - it was not too long ago.

Ours (Konica) are networked and have a scan to PDF or TIFF function at 40-80 pages per minute depending on the unit, it then uploads to an FTP server, which can be very quickly enabled on a mac on the network. We've scanned a Transit van full of documents this past 12months on ours. I know that as I've had to move the lot to offsite storage this past fornight.
