From paper forms to DB

Looking for any idea to introduce data in my DB from paper forms.

Some of the data spaces are variable hand text and some are "X" boxes.

May be an OCR program? may be a wacom tablet to help me speed-up the process?

If you have experience please help me.

Thanks.

Hmm, how mcuh paper are you talking about?

  • Author

500 records/month (just one day to take data on)

about 40 A4 paper forms with 6 records per side.

Was thinking on an speech recognition system too, but my lenguage is spanish. Anyway, sometime ago I saw a little program who can send voice commands to any aplication (example: you say "one" and it sends the option #1 with the correspondent value to FM), I don't remember the name and if is FM compatible.
