This is a more complex task, but would you consider engineering an OCR data extractor from image PDFs? I can tell you there are thousands of companies that run into the problem of converting columns of data from paper-only documents or fax machines into usable Excel data. And it's usually in one-off settings, where not having to buy a software package would be hugely appealing. Spending $0.10 - $0.25 per page would be far better than the labor cost of doing the same thing.

This sort of thing is absolutely on the drawing board. There's a lot of unknowns here for us: in particular, which OCR package to use -- none I've used are satisfactory IMO -- as well as figuring out the paper problem, which we don't want to get involved in directly. I'm sure a complementary partnership on the latter will make sense. Anyway, follow @docuharvest or join the mailing list if you want to keep up with goings-on. I think you'll be pleased over time. :-) EDIT: note that our pricing is per document, not per page. I'd hope that keeping the simplicity of that model remains possible semi-forever, regardless of the sort of processing DocuHarvest offers in the future.
