Just wondering if a cheap little handheld would accommodate something I
would like to do at work...
I have orders at work that have a handwritten five digit number in the
top right hand corner of an A4 page. I'd like be able to automatically
scan that number and possibly output it in a format that I can integrate
into my own program, so that they can be tracked from department to
department.
I've never used a handheld before tho, and know nothing about them. Are
they easy to use ? Basically I just want to be able to wave it over
the top of the page and it read the number.
Any suggestions / recommendations ?
