I am looking for a way to incorporate some simple OCR into a php script.
The
user will bulk scan a pile of invoices. I want the php script to look at
each
invoice and read a number off the invoice. The image will then be
renamed,
and be organized into a directory and the file name will be added to a
database. (all of these steps are straight forward once the number is
read.)
I have no problem with a system that requires a special OCR font and/or
some
sort of registration mark to help locate the Invoice number. Can anybody
tell
me of any tools out there that can do this?

In short PHP cannot perform OCR functions. You could insert an OCR
application into the process and have the OCR app pass PHP the
information.
Exactly.
Are there any third party tools or OCR applications that anybody can
recommend? (I suppose you could write an OCR application in PHP, but that
sounds like an awful lot of work.)
Thanks
