Looking for software to Scan client docs and insert into DB

[lsv]

Hey all,

I'm looking for software that could allow me to scan client documents automatically and input any data with OCR into a database which I can search through.

I have a lot of client files in paper format which have been printed and I'm looking to scan everything and switch to electronic methods. I've already switched to an electronic method of inputting client data so this is simply to take old archives and have them available electronically.

A few solutions which do exactly what I need are too expensive, in the thousands of dollars range. My small business simply doesn't have that kind of budget yet

At the previous company I worked for, and for the one I am at now, we used a software called Powerflow.

Probably will be out of your price range, but it does EXACTLY what you're looking for.
