Question
: Can I scan a page with tables or form fields and have the output saved to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet?
Answer : All our OCR software applications have the option to export OCR text to Microsoft Excel. These applications will recognize text with a row and column layout, regardless of whether there are dividing lines printed on the page. The quality of the reconstruction will vary depending on the application and the layout of the original.You can find a general introductory guide to OCR software here.
To convert a filled out form into data that can be exported to Excel or a database like Access or SQL Server, use our Forms Processing Software. These applications are designed to automate repetitive data entry tasks from forms and surveys, and can even recognize handwriting.
