ABBYY is pretty good, but IIRC their mobile OCR application was about reading business cards, i.e., much closer to desktop OCR than reading text from pictures. So, either way it will likely not be a "plug&play" solution. You 'll probably need to add the code for locating the text in the image and dewarping it yourself. If you can do that and since the part numbers have additional constraints (like only certain characters/digits can be in certain places, there is typically only one font, etc) you have large possibility of success. (even with using ocropus or a home-made classifier instead of expensive closed-source products). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ocropus" group.
