Janet:

There are other ways to identify the documents.

A) I assume that they are not uniform, so standard form recognition wouldn't
work?
B) Bar code separator sheets have even higher accuracy than bar codes, don't
impact document, take about the same time to insert as to stick on, but may
require removal after scanning.
C) All form identification will provide is the right menu for key entry of
metadata.  Would unstructured form recognition and capture work?  This could
cut the manual keying significantly depending on the documents.

Subject: Adding Bar Codes to scanning process

In order to make our imaging process more efficient for scanning of  back
file documents we would like to add a barcode to the physical documents
during the imaging process.  The purpose of the bar code is to provide the
Kofax imaging solution and Content Manager a way to determine what type of
document is being scanned and to provide a way to collect standard metadata
for indexing, in order to locate the images during the search and retrieval
process.

We would like to use stickers, however, we are concerned that we are
altering the original document and we are unsure how this would be viewed in
the courts.



Does anyone out there use this type of solution?



Thanks,
