gmac Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 paperless office multipage scanners tied in with databases. I can find several systems for use with windows but so far designed for use with linux. Any suggestions anyone? I'm no technical wizard so I need it simple.

Cannonfodder Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I would define your needs with a little more clarity. Give some examples of the flow... you are kinda brief with the info.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted December 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Small office, instead of filing cabinets and paper copies i am scanning documents on to the computer. These are not just single pages but often 30-40 pages sometimes double sided. I need a scanner that can scan multiple pages preferable double sided as well. These are readily available for windows. You can also buy programmes that link the documents in to a data base for easy recall. I've been using pdf format (star office works fine) for convenience ind somply storing in a folder. there are more sophosticated ways of doing it. So far I have been experimenting but now need to decide what I am doing. I would prefer to use linux but to date have not found equivalent software. There must be because large companies use this stuff and I know some of the resellers but their stuff is nit compatable with linux. You can lease the software for £40-50 per month with full updates etc or £80-£100 of you want the hardware as well. Thats actually quite an attractive package. Some of the commercial client management systems are £100-120 per month for a single licence. Thats what started me playing around with star office, I can achieve the same end myself with a little bit of work. The clever bit is the scanning software. Hope that clarifies things. You tend to assume everybody knows what you mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
