Forms Processing & Data Capture Software Guide
There are 2 categories of forms processing application available.  The first is the traditional, fixed-format, hand-filled forms and surveys.  Some examples of this type are credit applications, tax forms and bank deposit slips where written answers must be printed in separate boxes for each character. In the past few years, technology has developed to locate common data elements like a date or social security number anywhere they appear on the page.  This lets you automate virtually any data entry task originating on paper.  The prime example of this type of application is invoice  processing, where the documents you receive have names, dates and amounts you need to capture, but these appear in different locations on each page.
