Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.
I'm looking for some code to do some simple OCR. The characters would be pretty large, not entire documents. Does anyone know of any that would work on the iPhone?
Thanks for replying to this. Would you be able to put me in touch with your friend? I will be specifically using the OCR for large text at a distance so the long camera focus will not be an issue for me.
I'd be very interested in seeing how he was able to achieve integrating Tesseract into an iPhone app or even possibly send me some of his code.
Folks, I went through your posts and I am also interested some OCR functionalities on the iPhone.
John, I guess the tests to validate tesseract can be done on desktop just running the recognition on a pictires taken with the iPhone camera. Is it how your friend did the evaluation?
The quality of the camera is a hardware problem that cannot be solved (or maybe to some extends) with software image processing. But the new iPhone has a much better camera with auto-focus and macro mode... so OCR on iPhone could be a reality...
I am interested in having the OCR working in a very specific context and not in a general OCR application...
I am wondering what is the amount of work to port the C/C++ code to iPhone?
Hey guys, I'm looking to do the same thing with tesseract. I have it compiled on my machine, and have had some success with images from the web, but nothing with iphone images.
I have not tried compiling it for the iphone yet. Has anyone had success incorporating this package into an xcode project and had any success training tesseract for the iphone.
Any help or point me to additional links would be very helpful.
they are perfect but what about the cost? I tried to find out the cost and it's even not listed on their website. From what I get from support - it was something around 5K annually for MOCR SDK licence ...
