Subject: [AI] Using an alternative OCR with the Lex camera Hi all, In the event that some of you have bought the Lex system from VisionAid (the local dealer is Sparsh), you can use DocuScan Plus from Serotek with the camera that comes with the Lex system. Hats off to VisionAid for not locking its hardware. The advantage of DSP is that you can use both a flatbed scanner and a camera with it. Yes, I had to dust off my Plustek Opticbook 3600 scanner the other day. I had a business card to scan. I tried it with the Lex camera and was told no text found. This is where I goofed. I formulated the premise that there was an issue with the camera focus so it was time for the old flatbed. I had to use compatibility mode to update the drivers for the Plustek Opticbook 3600 on windows 10. Once that was done, I realized that I did not have any OCR program to use it with. My copy of Fine Reader was long expired and I do not own anything else. I have had my eye on DocuScan Plus for a while so gave it a spin. No go, still no text. I saw the Lex camera listed in the image source and tried it. Bingo, I got text. The experience is not as smooth as with the Lex software but it works. As for the business card, I had to use sighted assistance. The card is of an architect and she has used some fancy fonts. Time to file bug reports with VisionAid and perhaps Serotek though I doubt they can do much since the problem is with the OCR component.
