Hi, has anyone tried calling FormScanner automatically from another program instead of scanning images manually?

I am looking for software to automatically scan images as they are uploaded, so I would love to hear other people's experience please. Once the results are in a csv, I can read that and pull the data into my program, but I need to trigger the scan and tell it which template to use.

Many thanks

Rachel

I am looking for the same thing, with the additional caveat that I wish to save the file to a specific named CSV (in my case datafile.csv) rather than the date and time stamped file name that formscanner defaults to, since that CSV file is linked to the excel table that I use grade the student's answers. I have downloaded the source from github to try and find the output routines but have not been able to do so.
