What programming language to use for a form application?

Question

I am planing on developing a software to fill out forms. The user will scan any form and then he or she will enter data in the form. Now I don't need OCR, just the ability to save the overlaying text the user enter in top of the form.

My question is what will be the best language to do this project?

Note: I am thinking that the project should be a desktop application, but should be able to connect to the internet to get information like forms scan by other users, etc.

Answer 1

Do not think about the language - think about the available libraries / drivers / etc. that you can use and also about the constraints of final users' environments. Language itself is a second choice.

Answer 2

Choice is yours - just look around and select the best tool to solve your problem. In my opinion: if you think about standalone application for Windows with full set of accesible libraries easy to program - think about C# - its one of the best (effective) way to create software for mentioned purpose.
