Default Scanning into a program?

I would like to scan invoices into a searchable data base and was wondering if any office 2007 programs would work.


Thanks phaz

Hi phaz,

Microsoft Office doesn't include the functionality you're after. What you've described is a function of a document retrieval system. These typically include scanning hardware & software (which includes character recognition) and a database to which the scanned documents' text can be added for searching purposes.

As indicated in my previous post, you need more than just a program. Document scanning & data retrieval requires a combination of software and hardware. To see what's out there, I'd suggest a web search using phrases like 'document scanning retrieval'.
