You can then convert the PDF into an editable format. <BR/><BR/>There's a service called OCR Terminal that lets you do that - www.ocrterminal.com<BR/><BR/>Mobile phone images often have a poor resolution though. So I guess the OCR accuracy will depend upon whether Qipit can clean or enhance the images.Sarabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06154353643836059191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29958561.post-78526739692025313432008-09-29T20:56:00.000+01:002008-09-29T20:56:00.000+01:00Nope.

I made the incorrect assumption that the text would be OCR'd into the PDF, which would've made sense for them to do.<BR/>Apologies to everyone!Allan Ogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465243862081926217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29958561.post-13390431168921482252008-08-27T15:23:00.000+01:002008-08-27T15:23:00.000+01:00it's not ocr if it's an image and not in an editab...it's not ocr if it's an image and not in an editable text.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29958561.post-5195334301027467332008-08-23T09:49:00.000+01:002008-08-23T09:49:00.000+01:00Wikipedia defines OCR as "the mechanical or electr...Wikipedia defines OCR as "the mechanical or electronic translation of images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-editable text."<BR/><BR/>Sounds exactly like what Qipit is offering to me. Okay it's not captured from a scanner but from a camera but that's a trivial difference - they're both optical devices.Allan Ogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465243862081926217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29958561.post-55144486563740663172008-08-22T21:42:00.000+01:002008-08-22T21:42:00.000+01:00I'm sorry, but that is *not* OCR.I'm sorry, but that is *not* OCR.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851265262588281608noreply@blogger.com
