Ok this probably isn't quite what you're after, but Ghostwriter can use a picture as a form, and can export to Evernote, which will OCR your text. More of a personal productivity thing, but if that's what you need, it works pretty well. For a use case example, google Chronodex and Ghostwriter (Chronodex is a sample form you can download and then use as a background/paper option in Ghostwriter). --Hardy Sent from my iPad On Mar 5, 2012, at 8:27 PM, "Nate Hill" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > apologies for cross-posting. > > Does anyone on this list know if there is an existing solution to the > following scenario? > > I'd like to create a basic form, on *paper.* > Fields might include: name, age, address, library branch. > Then, I'd like to have an app for my iPhone (or whatever) that can take a > picture of that form, perform OCR on the fields, and populate a database > with the results based on the form template. > This would be very useful. > > Thanks- > Nate > > -- > Nate Hill > [log in to unmask] > http://www.natehill.net
