@blogdiva Oh snap! I didn't know such a beast was available, but that works a treat! At least as good as the main Mastodon web interface's 'detect text' function!
Thanks!

9to5 Google: Chrome now lets users copy and search text from scanned PDFs. “One of the most frustrating things about opening a PDF in Chrome is that there is always a chance the original document was scanned and not created digitally. In that case, none of the text would be visible to Chrome’s PDF viewer, meaning none could be copied as text. It also means Chrome’s page search was […]

Habe es endlich geschafft das Scannen von Bons und Post weitestgehend zu automatisieren.
#tech
* #Scan an einen Netzwerkordner (nach viel rumfummeln hat der Scanner auch nicht mehr SMB1 benötigt)
* dort läuft dann eine #ocr drüber (auf einem #raspberrypi 4)
* das Ergebnis wird im Posteingang von #paperlessngx abgelegt
* paperless importiert es.
* ein paar Werte prüfen und evtl. ändern
* fertig

Bruno Sonnino - Thoughts about development · Transforming an image into a table with Windows OCR - Bruno SonninoThe models available in the Windows AI APIs have unlocked a whole new world of features: you can add chat to your apps, answer questions in natural language, describe images for accessibility, enhance image resolution, remove image backgrounds or extract text from an image. These were features very difficult to implement, but the Windows AI

I learned more about Granicus-the-company and the systems hosting this data than I ever imagined. I learned about #OCR and data formats and using waste products as user-facing products. All leading to where we are today:

Drei geschichtswissenschaftliche Forschungsprojekte, drei Mal künstliche Intelligenz: Wie beeinflusst KI historisches Lernen und politische Sinnstiftung? Wie können #LLMs helfen, herabwürdigende Sprache in historischen Reformationsquellen zu erkennen? Und wie können mit #OCR digitalisierte Texte mit künstlicher Intelligenz bereinigt und besser nutzbar gemacht werden?
Eine Zwischenbilanz zum Einsatz von KI in der geschichtswissenschaftlichen Forschung 
Digital History BielefeldKünstliche Intelligenz als Teil geschichtswissenschaftlicher Praxis. Projekte und Perspektiven der Digital History BielefeldAm 27. März 2025 fand der erste diesjährige Projekttag unseres Arbeitsbereichs zum Thema „Künstliche Intelligenz und Geschichtswissenschaft“ statt. Unsere Diskussionen haben uns aufs Neue vor Augen geführt, wie sehr Prozesse in Gesellschaft und Wissenschaft von technologischen Entwicklungen geprägt sind – mit Konsequenzen, die wir erst zu verstehen beginnen. Neben einzelnen Projektvorstellungen haben wir uns auch … „Künstliche Intelligenz als Teil geschichtswissenschaftlicher Praxis. Projekte und Perspektiven der Digital History Bielefeld“ weiterlesen
Scannen vom Scanner mit direkt OCR-Text Erkennung. Welche einfache Desktop App empfehlen Ihr?
Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!

@Yehuda It is truly amazing on iPhone and Mac, you can directly select text from ANY image, even handwritten, like this. No external software needed, it is built in.
