[sane-devel] MICR/OCR document scanner support ?

[Ritesh Satia]

Hi All,

I am a new in this world of scanners and have to
provide support for a MICR/OCR document
scanner(details given below) on Linux. 

Does Linux has support of MICR Readers or some
framework to support them ?

Can SANE framework be used for supporting MICR/OCR
readers ?

Can someone guide me to the right mailing list if this
is not the right mailing list for asking doubts on
MICR scanners ?

Thanks,
Ritesh Satia
