ocr - Scan and read a document with tick boxes -


i have request customer wishes provide meals elderly people in different localities. people fill out form week , tick boxes depending on choices each day (it takes account specific requirements).

for example : 

 name  commune                    salt ( )      without salt []  mon :       meal 1 ( )                   meal 2 ( )            dessert 1 ( )                 dessert ( )  tues :       meal 1 ( )                   meal 2 ( )            dessert 1 ( )                 dessert ( )

the data each sheet should compiled tell how many of each type of meal prepare each day each commune...

the sheets same, hoping able scan them in , automatically read them.

i not know of software allows me this. best way of accomplishing task? @ moment looking @ tesseract, maybe there simpler technique?

edit: talking several hundred forms week. ideally scan them @ same time, extract data , store forms electronically.

you looking not ocr, implies reading machine-printed characters. looking icr/omr software, known form processing or data capture. omr stands optical mark recognition, trying do, recognize value of checkmarks/checkboxes.

additional info handwriting recognition here: icr machine printed text?

because forms same, means forms fall category of "fixed forms" , template-based software package can process forms. here short document explaining differences between form types: www.wisetrend.com/files/structured_vs_semi-structured.pdf

your blank form should designed machine recognition. should have reference marks better alignment of template, clear flow users know how fill out naturally, check boxes of appropriate size, etc.

i believe flexicapture need: link. there @ least several other solutions can perform similar process. work integrator/consultant paper-based form-processing projects.

i removed "mobile" tag, believe not planning use cell phone capture these images. if are, advise against if have other options. mentioned scanning them on conventional scanner, best option achieve image quality. trust me, have enough deal when processing human handwritten forms, optimize forms, scanning, software , process as possible.

if interested develop yourself, possible. process compare image area (each checkmark) 'baseline' see if there additional hand-writing area. if on threshold, checkmark has been checked. typical issues alignment of areas , borderline threshold levels (small/light tick mark). commercial packages handle automatically.

please let me know if need additional guidance.
