We are building a system to support scanned images for a tax agency. (1,000,000 images per year). We are doing character recognition using Captiva. The software is OK but the company was a nightmare to deal with. My only suggestion would be to do some serious prototyping prior to getting into full development. Figuring out the right way to do things took us a very long time. If you have specific questions, feel free to contact me directly. -- Paul Dorsey Dulcian, Inc. www.dulcian.com 212 595 7223 Gudrun Janssen wrote in message <37831617.6330DDDA@itu.fzk.de>... >Hello, > >We are planning to setup a documentation management system.
