Hello
Is there any app for wm similar to DOCSCANNER from ipho**???
It takes the picture from the camera, and does a recognition.
That app is at docscanner dot com. (no publicity intended!)
SO???
THanks.
Sprint packaged a Bizcard reader with the TP2s...or did you wants something more paper sized read?
The bizcard reader from sprint works great for cards, but is there a software that could recognize text from a book or magazine and save it to a text file?
Wow that would be seriously cool
they have a business card reader for touch pro 2? whats it called.
The Business card scanner on sprint is WorldCard Mobile.

Creo que el programa que te sirve es Scan.2PDF.Mobile. Es muy buen programa. Exitos.
How about this?
http://www.qipit.com/
As far as I can tell neither
Scan.2PDF
OR Qipit
does character recognition so that it can be saved as a text document.
There's ScanR which seems to provide some OCR. Unfortunately it's a subscription service. Quite cheap though if you are really going to use it. Don't know how well it works as I haven't tried it yet.
There also seems to be TopOCR. and ABBYY has recently released a mobile ocr engine so hopefully programs using it will come out soon.
You can try this free OCR :
http://www.topocr.com/mobile.html
It's not for WVGA
Evernote automatically OCR-es your snapshots that you upload to it, and indexes them .. and even works on hand-writing (see attachment) .. and on top of it all .. it's FREE!
Oh and just for the record (pun intended!) .. it indexes other things too, besides pictures: text notes, voice notes, ink notes, etc.

I have PDF readers that work, and I have figured out my faxing situation thanks to everyones help on these boards. Now I need to be able to sign PDF documents on the Universal. I have Acrobat and can do it from my laptop but often I find myself in a situation that a PDF document needs to be changed or signed and emailed back. Is there any software that would allow me to add a signature like Acrobat or even a picture (i have my signature in a jpg format) to a PDF doc? Thanks to everyone here. FISH
There is a prog for pdf edotong...gogle it
Thanks for the Helpful response. Where on "gogle" did you find this program? Should I spell "editor" like you did "edotong" because when I search these;
pdf editor wm5
pdf editor mobile
pdf editor pocket pc
pdf editor universal
and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on.......................
I get ALOT of programs for my "computer" but NONE for the pocket pc/universal etc... Care to shed some light? Thanks FISH
Found this program, gonna try it out and let you guys know if it works.
I Comment Here
EDIT: Ok so that wont really work. you can write on any program so I was able to sign a pdf and it turns it into a BMP and puts it in a ZIP file but it only captures the "screenshot" and not the whole document.
Back to the drawing board (lol) FISH
Do you want a text based pdf, embedded image, or full Adobe spec?
Because writing a text only v1.2 PDF is relatively easy, I've reverse engineered/re-implemented it in various of my apps and my net browser. But I can't recall seeing it on the PDA before. But it's easy enough, in theory, and if you're a developer (ie not for me, lol!)

Basically I would love Adobe Acrobat for Pocket Pc.
Here is my situation:
I am a real estate broker and I receive ALOT of faxes that come to my toll free number and then forward to me in an email. These faxes turn into PDF files when they come through email. I can then open them with a PDF viewer. Sometimes I need to sign a document and email or fax it back to the client/realtor/lender etc.. I can email and fax no problem from my universal. The only thing that is lacking is the ability to "Sign" or cross out something like I could do in Acrobat. Thanks for responding vjay. FISH
I'm frustrated by the way pdf's are forced to completely redraw (or maybe reload) themselves when you scroll around within a page. It makes them a time consuming hassle. Is there any way to make it scroll smoothly? I'm using the clearvue pdf viewer that was loaded with the Cingular 812555.
u have mobipocket and others, but most of them arnt free...
http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eNews/default.asp
and im not sure if it solves ur problem, i just suggest alternatives to try...
Thanks trashman for the suggestion. I'm not worried about paying for the program if it does the trick (though of course I would rather find it for free). Does anybody out there know if mobipocket will help smooth out scrolling when viewing PDF's?

It won't display PDF's, you'll need to convert them, which may result in problems unless your PDF source is fully text-based.
That is, don't even try to convert a, say, graphics-heavy tech book to the Mobi format.
dunno with heavy graphics but with normal graphics, pictures and so on i have no problem with it...and it scroll fast on text and relatively smooth on graphics...
but mene is correct, u cant read a pdf right away, it need to be "converted"...

Yup, with a normal, say, literature book the Mobi format is much better than PDF.
I for one am a fairly heavy PDF user and have always gone back to the bloated Adobe Reader 2.0. Just found this Foxit Reader for Windows Mobile which is still beta but was quite impressive. No installation, just a small executable that I copied to my Program Files directory and changed the PDF default viewer in the registry. It has a stupid nag screen and an Evaluation banner at the top of the that I'm sure will disappear when it's actually released. Looks like it has promise.....
I tried 'em all on my 8125, and settled on Foxit Reader. It only cost me $9.99 for a licensed version, and it works as well as any. It is very fast, takes up very little room and redraws seamlessly. The only drawback to it is that it has no find function. But tables of contents and links within documents are both fully functional. It's the best pdf viewer I've used in all my years of using PDAs and Handhelds.
This is the URL to the beta download, but if you contact the company they are very good about communicating with you.

You can contact Sales here: [email protected]
I did have some trouble in getting the licensed version to keep my registration key from one session to the next, and had to get about 4 different "new" versions from them before they finally got me the fully licensed executable, but they didn't give up and their replies were timely.
Overall I'm very happy with it. I even open 6+Mb manuals with it and it is very fast in doing so, and just as fast in navigating within those large documents.
G'luck
Okay. The I downloaded the Fox Reader evaluation. Is there anyway to make it the default reader once you get the licensed version?
By the way - it's much quicker to use than the clearvue reader.
RepliGo PDF Mobilizer looks quite nice as well. The viewer for pocketpc is free, but you'll need to convert your PDFs to a custom format with their software, which is shareware (but nothing a quick search with Google can't fix).
The converted files are about half the size of the original PDF without losing layout/features etc.

Use a registry editor, navigatate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Look for pdffile. The Shell\Open\Command. Open the key and copy the text to the clipboard. (Mine says "\\Program Files\FoxitReader for WiM5.0.exe" %1" Close that and go down to Opendoc\Command and replace the text in the entry there.

Is there such an application which functions like the WorldCard Mobile ability to capture data on name card by camera to convert to readable text document? eg: take a shot on a page of article and converts it to MS Word.

Yes... that's the term. Thanks!
I'm doing some searching on the web now... looking at these links.

There's no mobile OCR I can find suitable. Neither does Jetware Mobile Extension replacement app.
Is there any development tread for both?
that would be a really useful program i think
there are a few server-side web services where you email the pic to a server and it sends you back the OCRed version... not very cool though... I want everything to be self-contained.
It might seems like conventional OCRs take up a great amount of storage space and so it's not practicable to mobilised it... Just my thought.
You can use the ocr sdk for mobile devices from ABBYY.it is not free though.
http://www.abbyy.com/sdk/?param=56223
using this sdk, you can convert any image to text, either by using the camera or by browsing to an image file and processing it using the ocr.
I used to have an app like the one you need, but its for symbian phones . On the positive side, if my nokias N73 and E65 handle the job, i dont see why my htc touch would not handle it

With sdhc card compatibility i can't imagine not having the space for a program like this, really on that note i'm pretty sure the ram capabilities are fine compared to alot of the symbian phones out there capable of it
Its not a manner of can't be done its a matter of it hasn't been done yet.
we have one on our Omnias!
There is an OCR program called Smart Reader from Diotek which not only reads business cards but also reads general text from a page via camera. Really cool app I think someone extracted it over on modaco.com in the i900 forum - but I don't know whether it would work other models.
Here is a link to the Smartreader that was on MoDaCo
This links to a Polish (I think) hosting site.
http://www.sendspace.pl/file/pVNBREN9/
to bad it doesn't work for me on my TP
I think there is a problem with the dll's you have to copy to the windows directory.
I hope we can get this to work! it would be great for me to use on school.
Hi,
I using my htc touch hd for reading scientific papers which almost al of them are in pdf format. The high resolution screen of the HD makes it quite clear and comfortable to read. However Adobe Reader LE is lacking the highlight and mark text options which is really unhandy for me.
Does anyone knows another pdf reader which does containt these options? If so, would it be able to actually safe those highlighted texts as addition layer and transfer it to pc. The meaning is to be able to read and mark publication when travelling and to be able to read them on pc with the saved highlighted text.
Thanx
Hi. I use Repligo by Cerience.com - converts PDF to their own format and lets you highlight, comment & set bookmarks. Take a look! I've had this program for years but I can't find it now on their site for WinMo. If no sucess try Foxit Reader instead - a good pdf reader.
Thanks for your reply. I try it immediately
I have just purchased PrinterShare Premium, and although it will print PDF and JPEG files to my HP wireless printer, something funky is happening with documents created on the Iconia. From online research it seems that other people have had similar problems with the Xoom.
Here's the problem. If I create any Word or Excel with the Documents to Go app they will not print. I either get rendering errors “docs render error 256“ (Word) or the document will print with the wrong text such as lines of the word GENERAL replacing my text (Excel). However if I print the same document created in Word or Excel on another PC it prints fine through Printershare.
I am wondering if this a Honeycomb problem - I sent an inquiry to their customer support but have not heard back from them yet. I'll report back any solutions if they have some to offer.
Thought I'd post a heads up here before anyone else spends $12.95.
UPDATE
Tried the same configuration on my Galaxy Tab with similar results. So it looks like the conflict is with Documents to Go.
But, I have discovered that Documents made using the Google Docs app will print fine with PrinterShare. So, at least there is a workaround of sorts.

I finally heard back from Customer Service:
"These document rendering errors occur when trying to print documents created/modified with mobile office applications. Error 256 occurs for doc files and 64 for docx files. Quickoffice docx files hang during rendering. The errors should not occur for microsoft office created/saved files. At the moment only OfficeSuite Pro doc (not docx) files are rendered without errors. We are working on resolving this issue, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience."
VitaZora said:
J'ai enfin eu des nouvelles du service client :
"Ces erreurs de rendu de documents se produisent lorsque vous essayez d'imprimer des documents créés/modifiés avec des applications de bureau mobile. L'erreur 256 se produit pour les fichiers doc et 64 pour les fichiers docx. Les fichiers docx Quickoffice se bloquent pendant le rendu. Les erreurs ne devraient pas se produire pour les fichiers créés/enregistrés par Microsoft Office . Pour le moment, seuls les fichiers doc OfficeSuite Pro (pas docx) sont rendus sans erreur. Nous travaillons à la résolution de ce problème, veuillez accepter nos excuses pour le désagrément occasionné."
