Abstract:
A method for sending image data of a document containing human readable textual destination information to a designated remote destination is herein described. The method includes receiving image data and recognizing, with a processor, the textual destination information designating a remote destination in the image data. The textual destination information may include a predetermined pattern identifying an e-mail address, IP address, or telephone number, or a region to locate such. When the textual destination information is recognized, an electronic routing address is created such that a transmission module coupled to the processor may transmit the data to the remote destination. A method and system including identifying the location of textual destination information in a first scanned document to automatically identify information in a corresponding location in a second scanned document to address and transmit the second document is also disclosed.
