Hey Folks, I am wondering if ocropus can handle two use cases.
1. A user has hand written notes on lined paper and want to digitize them into editable text. The user scans their notes into an acceptable format. The user runs ocropus on the generated file. The file result is a txt file of the interpreted characters. How might a training process look for this use case? 2. A user has collected a drawer full on receipts. The user wishes to digitize these to gather useful information for a database or spreadsheet application. The user scans the receipts of different sizes, lengths and printed font. Ocropus is used to generate a tab delineated text file with the following layouts for a receipt * Header: Name of location, address and phone number * Body: item description and price as two columns (tab or character delineation) * taxes: are indicating applicable taxes or surcharges * final value: Usually a larger character set. 3. A user has a series of paper bills or PDF bills and wishes to get an editable version where data can be extracted. Ocropus is pointed towards the PDF or scanned version of the bill. For example a cell phone / cable bill may include the following layout elements: * Summary: Summary of the whole bill and amount due including phone usage and cable expenses. * Phone summary: Summary of phone usage for all phones on the bill * Detailed phone: Breakdown of phone usage by user (lets say 3 users). This will include phone number called, duration, start / stop times cost of call etc. * Cable charges: explanation of charges including base package and special purchases such as movies. These are the three main use cases I am looking at to try and allow individuals to better tracks their financial habits. I am interested in if anyone has achieved any of the above and how. If the above has not been achieved whether it is theoretically possible and how one might approach the problem. And finally if I will never achieve the above with ocropus and where I might continue my hunt for an open source solution. Thanks all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ocropus" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
