What I really want to see is a tool which will open a scan of a check/invoice and review it to find:
- Invoice number --- it should resave the pixel image using that number as the file name
- check amount and date --- this could be written out as a meta-file using the invoice number as a file name
that would let me automate pretty much the last aspect of my day job which is suited to automation which is not yet automated.

- WillAdams 3y agoThe structure isn't standardized --- it's a random check design placed on top of an invoice which may be printed from a wide variety of printers at some random scale, and possibly photocopied multiple times.
