Hi all, I hope this is the right forum to post.
I dont know where to start so I'll start from the beginning. My client asked me to convert 5000 printed newspaper articles to usable text with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for use on there intranet which runs on an windows server. The also would like an option to search by keyword through the content of the whole range of articles. I know how to convert these articles to usable text. But my question is, what is the most usable/fastest way of getting this articles in a database and which database MS Acces or SQL server? I've also have an option to export directly from my OCR program to HTML or XML. I hope someone can give me some advice. |

| Ah yes, but it uses the description meta tag to get the keywords, for each of the 5000 articles you would need to put some HTML keywords in..... that could obviously take a while! |

I would put all the ariticles in an SQL Server database, databases are made for searching so that should be simple enough ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Thanks people for your replies. I think I'll go for the SQL-server database option. XML is at this piont one bridge to far for me. Thanks again! |

When you say search by keyword, what do you mean? Remember that if this was a subset of words from an article then you'd need to specify exactly what these keywords are... If however you just mean to search every word in an article then its a lot easier. Might pay to look into the 'Full-Text-Index' feature of SQL Server: Cheers, ------------- There have been many, many posts made throughout the world... This was one of them. |
