“EstimateReader helps eliminate re-keying by making the information on printed estimates available to other applications. For example, a rental car company provider can use the web-service to receive information from printed estimates as XML or JSON files to power their application. It is very helpful in situations where you need access to data but the file format is no longer available. In some cases it is more cost effective to convert a printed document into an older format than rewrite the application to support a new format”, said Steven Siessman of VehicleOwnersGuide.com.
