Re: [hylafax-users] route incoming faxes

[Lee Sitton <lcs@iacl.co.uk>]

I have routed incoming faxes to a machine running Omnipage Pro Ver. 11 and
have found the OCR capabilities to be very acceptable. My intention (when I
get a chance) is to write a script that attempts to analyze the resulting
text and figure out who the fax was for. This bit isn't as easy as I
thought. However, I've dedided that if my script can't work out who the
intended recipient is then it'll just forward them all to the person within
our company who normally deals with faxes arriving at a specific fax
machine.

This has been talked about.  What you want is OCR capability, so you can 
convert a graphical image (a fax) to text.

I don't know the state of the art in linux, but OCR on faxes has almost 
always resulted in utter garbage for me.  I would not rely on it for 
routing faxes.
