[LUG] Open/Libre Office: paragraphs as barcodes please?

 

I'd like, in OpenOffice or similar, to have the word processor send
each paragraph to something which returns a 2D barcode - QR or
datamatrix or whatever - containing the text of that paragraph.


It is an effort to solve a simple problem - reading barcodes off
scanned documents - rather than an insuperable problem - persuading
hospitals etc to stop sending printed letters on paper in favour of
sending the file that was printed - or a merely hard problem - OCR
from printed text.


Software?

Macros that send per paragraph to software outside?

Plugins for the word processors?
