I propose to purchase a scanner and also use the same , among other things, for reading Business cards of contacts to build a database. My query
1. Can I assume that using any scanner I can get pdf files and the same can be OCRed ( using pdfocr script which uses Cnueiform ) 2. Are there any scanners I should avoid 3. Any experience or Contra-indication against Canon LiDE 100 . 4. Any application that reads the business cards and intelligently (or interactively) give parsed data from business card 5. Any recommendation for FOSS application for building a database for contacts using scanner/OCR/manual effort
