I am looking for a way to add a record to a form through e-mail.  This I can handle, but specifically I am looking to add an image to a form through e-mail and then OCR that image file automatically.

I can e-mail and add a file, not an image, through e-mail.  But from there I am stuck.  I think you can only OCR image fields and not file upload fields. I am not aware of a way of transferring the file in an file upload field to an image field to make it OCR-able.  

Is what I am trying to do possible?
