I work in a storeroom that receives about 40 packages a day from fed ex and ups. We write down the tracking number, the name of the sender and the name of the person it is addressed to. Is there an app that I can use to scan the shipping label and have it go online to get the shipper info and then save all the info to an excel spreadsheet? Maybe even emsil it to me? I use a samsung galaxy note 2. You can reach me at westmail@gmail.com thanks!
 
Maybe it's just the packages that I receive, but inputting a tracking number at the fedex website, in the tracker box, and submitting it.... the result doesn't tell me anything about who the shipper is. It tells me the status (delivered, or whatever) the city, state and country it shipped from, but not WHO sent it. So something like that would require bar code reading (to get the package #) AND OCR so that the software could identify the shipper by the actual label.

Would an integration with GoogleDocs work out? one that:

takes the image
uploads it to a Private GoogleDocs Account
GoogleDocs does the heavy OCR process
GoogleDocs Sends Notification/Response back to phone
Phone saves record to excel, website, etc..

the uploaded document in google docs could then be easily deleted, and only the actual image of the shipping label saved...
