App to scan paper records into FarmOS (OCR/Computer Vision)

It’s an interesting idea, but there are plenty of issues to get over.

  • How clear is everyone’s writing?
  • Are you getting these sheets bound into a book to prevent creasing?
  • How clean can the sheets be kept, I know my own note taking on a tractor often has smugs of oil/dirt.
  • Are you hoping to build this yourself?

Maybe you just need a more simplified App? A simple webform with only the fields they need? That can sync with farmOS via the API. That way they don’t need to worry about the complexity of the farm management software but just get the minimum they need for data entry.

This is something I had been working on.
