Re: Re: Autofile now available

[Guest guest]

Thanks for that .. that line should not be there!! I've uploaded build

3 which should fix it.

You don't need a static IP if the IP doesn't change too much .. it's

just for tracking so users can be charged.

If you want to test it from home, let me know what the IP address is.

It can be any directory .. not necessarily C:\

I've updated it to build 5 with TIFF support ( requires Imagemagick to

be installed )

and also have built a Linux version.

I've got to feed my 2 chickens too .. and find time to build a coop

for them. They're only 4 months old

I'm going to use them as a bird flu early warning system!

Build 16 can now install those for you ...as an option. Also has a

button to test to see if you have a working environment.

Yep, it works well on TIFF faxes and if you have the fax id printed at

the top of each received fax, it makes it much easier to develop a

rule to identify the fax.

This software is for automated filing/routing of incoming faxes. Why

waste human resources on this time consuming activity when you could

be reading the IMP mailing list!

I've got more work to do! Lynn sent me a fax from paperport with a

rather odd name that imagemagick didn't like.

So, I now have to alter the file names before attempting the OCR, and

also have an option to strip off cover pages.

But rules are easy to make .... perhaps I need to create a video as

it's easier to understand such a visual task that way.

I've released build 18 with the following enhancements:

* Option to use Tesseract on the regions after the form type has

been recognized. Use this on high quality deskewed scans. Will speed

up the recognition quite considerably.

* Regions are now cropped before being OCR'd and any regions that

are pure white are no longer submitted.

* Copies the source files to the local directory before running

ghostscript/imagemagick ... as some filenames generated by Paperport

would cause an error

Still have to tackle the situation where the file you want recognized

has a cover page that has to be stripped off ( sorry Lynn! )

The first public release of a version of Synapse with autoimport is

now available for testing.

Synapse will take a directory of scanned documents/faxes that have

been named by the Autofile utility and import them directly into the

database, so that they appear in the appropriate doctor's inbox.

Previously it took a couple of minutes to manually process each file

.... opening the file, looking for the patient details, finding the

patient, allocating the document to the correct doc, deciding on the

document type and date and then importing it. Now all of this is

automated.

If we get 20 faxes/scans per day, and assuming an accuracy of document

recognition of 100% ( quite possible with a decent scanner ), then

that's 20 x 2 = 40 mins per day saved. Over a month, that adds up to

4.4 x 6 x 40 = 1056 minutes per month, or 12,762 mins per year, or,

211 hours per year. If your receptionist is being paid $10 per hour,

then you save $2,110 per year. And if you're doing all this yourself

without a receptionist, then that's 211 hours a year more that you can

spend with your family!
