Document Scanning from ASP.net Web Application

HaBo picture HaBo · Aug 15, 2012 · Viewed 12k times · Source

I have a ASP.Net C# 4.0 Web Application

I need to Add a scanning feature for my users. This is what I want to achieve On my web application

  1. user clicks on a button
  2. opens a window with preview of document in Scanning device attached to the client system
  3. User confirms the Scan
  4. this will save the Scanned document in jpg/pdf format on the server
  5. then do the OCR on document

Can any one suggest a way to achieve this.

I read about this https://www.leadtools.com/sdk/engine/imaging not sure how much this can work. Can any one suggest a best way to get this done.

Thanks

HaBo, This is LEAD support. Since you mentioned our LEADTOOLS toolkit, the answer to your question is yes. Our toolkit can be used to implement either of the 2 approaches mentioned by tgolisch.

For the click-once approach, you simply use our Windows Forms controls that contain Twain support and package your application for ClickOnce deployment. This is done, for example, in this demo project: LEADTOOLS ClickOnce Demos

For the custom control approach, see the example code projects on our forums that perform Scan and Upload
