Automation of OCR software (1034715)

We scan Ids from customers to keep customer's data and also to extract their picture which we will print on a corporate card. We scan the IDS at cashdesk. Only after, the Ids will be used to manage the customer database. We use to analyse (OCR) some of the french IDs with a software called « IDScan ». You can see [[login to view URL]][1] for info about the software. We OCR the pictures, not the IDs directly. So the coder won't need a scanner. The software has a SDK to allow developers to integrate Idscan in their own applications (<[login to view URL]> and [login to view URL] !the problem: hundreds of pictures to be scanned : very time-consuming and error-prone work. We would need a small application that would take control of Idscan via the SDK to automate the scan of files. The application should ask for the directory where the files are located, ask if all the pictures files should be scanned or only one specific extension. Also the application would allow the user to scan only pictures whose name have a specific pattern Application should be in Visual Basic, code should be reasonably commented, to allow for maintenance and/or further development. Experts in OCR alternative solutions welcome provided they are for ID scanning. Interested coders please feel free to ask any question before placing a bid. Thank you
