Need help to OCR the Health care form HCFA1500

[MaheshCN (Mahesh)]

I need to extract data from the scan copies of Health care form HCFA 1500. The images are not consistent with the quality and shape and size. But these are HCFA1500 forms. I need to scrape the data on the screen itself, I cant download nor I can have the soft copy of the images. Please advise

Hi @MaheshCN,

Please refer this post. @Bharat_Kumar
here they are extracting the scanned data from pdf.

How to extract text from image using OCR

Please find attached xaml file where i have fetched Fax Number, File# and Date from the PDF. I have used RegularExpressions to fetch the data. You can also achieve the same using string manipulation as well. You can use regex101: build, test, and debug regex and try different regular expression and for string manipulation https://www.dotnetperls.com/string-vbnet ScanedPDF.zip (23.2 KB)

same as you do your process

Regards,

The problem is that the OCR data is not consistent to do string manipulation. for example in the below image I need to extract field 21, all the data with in field 24, 25, 26 etc.
