Hi,
I'm not sure this is related with this group but anyway..

I'll design a program which will read a form from the scanner and read the
data on the form.
Form is filled with pencil by marking, Like a test.

First of all is this possible?
How can I communicate with the scanner and how can I read the data from the
form ? Should I use a graphichs library to intrepret the data?

Thanx a lot

Hmm
look for a Twain  component for your needs.
 there are lots of them out there.
 as far as pencel marks?, well i guess you could also scan the image for
 gray  squared in areas and then check the contents.

Hello

To get the image from the scanner I would image you can use TWAIN,
www.Torry.net has some components that can help get the job done. Now the
image recognition is the hardest part, libraries from ImageLib
http://www.imagelib.com, Lead Tools www.leadtools.com, Pegasus www.jpg.com
and PixeLook http://plsoft.users.btopenworld.com can help. I'm not aware of
any freeware or opensource libraries, also try searching www.SourceForge.net
