[ciccio17]

Hello,

is there any open-source (not Kofax or eCopy) solution for integration with scanner?

Thank you for info.

Regards

[savic_prvoslav]

is your ocr.exe in classpat?

[aman79]

thanks for your reply, can you please tell how to do this.

[savic_prvoslav]

instead ocr.exe put your path to it for instance
d:/blatest/ocr.exe

[aman79]

Ocr is working fine in xp but not on windows 2003 server

[savic_prvoslav]

Should work , have you installed properly. 
run cmd and try it your self to se if it works.
