One of the services seeingwithsound supplies is that if you send an email
to:
ocr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

with the following word in the subject line:
recognize

(with it's american spelling with the letter Z)

And a picture attached, you should get an automated OCR response email
within around 5 minutes, but it really comes down to quality of picture,
etc., and since think they're making use of a free OCR service, it won't
necessarily be the best quality either, but anyway...

Biggest problem have had with that as well is that it's quite hard to make
sure you're focusing correctly on the thing you're taking a picture of with
a self focusing cellphone camera etc. as well...

Along the lines of that one, in order to see if the bottle of toast spread
had was either marmite or bovril (and really just a bit of testing), I used
the vOICe's colour filtering to check if there was more yellow, or more red
on the bottle, and turned out got it right that it was the yellower marmite
I had there...<smile>

This last bit is just a bit of a suggestion relating to recognising
products etc, and isn't really a bypass/workaround for product label
OCRing.

Stay well

Ah thanks, even less of a chance as I have the older 6110 navigator.  I'm



considering getting a hand held usb scanner that can ocr directly into

hope such a device can read text off items except just white paper.

On that discussion page (the first link), seems one or two guys mention

it

won't work on the 6210 - if that's the navigator - but not sure if that
means not at all, or just this specific version.

Ok, now by searching for:
nokia multi scanner download N82

via google accessible search, I found the following page:
http://symbianv3.com/nokia-multiscanner-recognize-texts-with-camera/

On that page, there are two links to download either a version in a .rar
archive:




http://symbianv3.com/wp-content/uploads/multiscanner_euro_v_1_1_8_s60_31.rar


or a direct link for the .sisx file:




http://symbianv3.com/wp-content/uploads/multiscanner_euro_v_1_1_8_s60_31.sisx


I tried sending that link to an email address configured for receipt on

my

phone, but it didn't seem to like the link too much, so I just

bluetoothed

it to my phone now, and when opened the message, carried out

installation,

restarted phone, and it runs fine, in terms of starting and operating,

etc.


I just opened the camera first, exited that app, then started

multiscanner

itsself.

I see that it now has input language options for both finnish and

english

in this version, but when I tried it out on a box of cigarettes which I
generally use when showing the KNFB reader to people, it again just came
back with garbage character results.

Will try maybe better lighting, and normal printed text etc., but lets

see.


This is all on my N82 FWIW.

Stay well

Hi Jacob, where did you get a test version.
I downloaded some version from the Nokia site, but as many on a forum

have

found, it seems to only really work with E66 and E71, many like me

could

get
it to install, but just won't load.

I've tried the current test version of that multiscanner software on my
N82, and it just seems to read me back a jumble of letters etc., but

also

seems can only set it to try read finnish or something at the moment,

but

let's see if something happens as they move along with it.

Hi List,

I hear the Nokia E66 and E71 also come with Nokia's Multiscan software
installed.  This software is an OCR application and allows the phone

to

scan text and then read it to you.

I tried installing this Multiscanner software from Nokia, which they

claim

works with Simbian 60 phones and others, and the app after

installation

just doesn't want to load or open on my 6110 navigator.

Ps:  I love my navigator, although not the latest 6210.  I believe the

E66

has gps and also 3.5 mp camera, but not sure if Vodacom offer it as
"speaking phone".

  Hi,

  Interesting, this about installing programs on cell phones. Makes me
  wonder what's hiding on it, as many of the things that are on there,

is

  hidden.

  Anyway, have just started using the Nokia Navigator 6210, and I am
  impressed with it, as I can now save many text, or mp3, books on it,

so

  I, as a lover of reading, can now always have lots of books on my

phone,

  which Talks read out to me.

  The GPS is another thing; the phone cannot yet tell me when

something

  dares to get in my way of destruction. Still playing around with it.

  The problem lately, is that my Service provider these days has

decided

to

  install the UK voice of Eleguance, rather than the US version, which

I

  find better. Now, this was a little problem I could easily solve by
  downloading the US version when I was using the N70. But, when I

tried

to

  do it for the 6210, my computer does not want to allow me, saying
  something like "Burst Technologies is regarding this as chat"

  This should be a small file, called something like: "Eleguance 3rd
  4...sisx". I need the US version [American]

  Would it be possible for any of you guys to download it for me and

e-mail

  it to me? [www.nuance.com\talks\support]
