microfiche scanning

[davidd]

Hello

A customer has 100k plus exploded parts diagrams on fiche that they want to get into a database along with the descriptions for each bit.

You know the sort of think, they have an exploded diagram of a wheel hub with arrows and numbers pointing at the bearing etc.

Anyone got any ideas?
