I have about 5,000 hard copy forms that i need to be converted to electronic or created into a database such as microsoft access.
The goal is to avoid trying to manually put in each one of the 5,000 forms. This would be too tedious and take too much time.
I’ve been brainstorming for the longest, and have only come up with scanning them in. This would also be tedious and take a while. It seems to be no way around this.
Any suggestions?
Just use a scanner with a document feeder. You can stick stacks of paper in at a time, and it will pull each page through individually.
Something like Acrobat can handle the scanning/saving, and will even do OCR.
