Hi everyone,

I need an OCR web-service that transforms a scanned(PDF,JPG,etc.) invoice into a database file(currently i'm using Oracle with PSP(PL/SQL Server Pages) but i am free to use anything for this function). The problem that i'm facing is that i want this OCR to be work on a pattern: for example, on the left corner in a box is the name of the vendor,etc.

I think i could split the invoice into tiny sections coresponding to each input field in the database but i'm having a problem with the character recognition.

Since when a user scans an invoice it enters a pattern with it, i know the font used and the location of each input field. Is there any web service able to achieve this or should i do it on my own?

Kind Regards,
Mateius Korgha
