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?


As libre office supports javascript I'd see what is available in JS. There is a JQuery one but I'm not a fan of Jquery but it could be a start.
