Hi all. I need some assistance in locating vendors of equipment that will process some 70,000 + records that will be arriving in my office. They are hand printed survey forms and I need to scan the hand written text and end up with an ascii file. All vendors that I am contacting claim they can help, but only one was really able to handle the task. I need some alternatives and would appreciate your plug for your favorite vendors. Format is oversized postcard containing an address block and about 15 Y/N ques



tions that are answered. I anticipate hundreds of thousands of additional forms annually as the project grows. I need to get this right the first time...thanks!!!!!  We currently use DOS and MACs and
a RISC 6000 (unix), but we do have money for new things as this is a ground
up development effort.

Thanks

John
