I've been investigating the dejavu (djvu) format to find out if it could do what you mentioned. I asked the guys at Lizardtech (www.lizardtech.com) if they had some off-the-shelf product. They don't but they could do some custom job. Djvu has what is called a hidden text layer. Since it is regular text, I figured there could be also xml markup. Linux has text-based djvu utilities. I think the tools to manipulate the hidden text layer are all Windows-based.

This is one I wrote in 2003, which combined OCR from barcode and an imaging application based on FileNet: http://www.filesite.org/viewtopic.php?t=173 You didn't mention whether you're doing spot or forms recognition or full-text OCR. You might also look at barcode recognition, because those are VERY reliable, even over fax. Try these links for the OCR software: Google apparently has an OCR engine that is now OSS.. http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2006/08/announcing-tesseract-ocr.ht ml http://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract-ocr ..never heard of it before this morning. Should be interesting to look at though. Apparently it is an old HP-based software that had been shelved for twelve years and now resurrected. ABBYY is a well-known industrial-strength app for OCR. I've never personally used them (mostly stick with Caere) but have heard great thingsAND...they have an SDK for *nix and/or TheCultOfMac. http://www.abbyy.com/sdk/?param=59956 I aslo saw this one... http://www.linux-ocr.ekitap.gen.tr/ Keep in mind that we process over 3M documents/year - that comes out to roughly 15,000 every day, including weekends. We currently have eight high-speed scanners, and are evaluating whether to purchase some new Kodak i860 models at $75,000 each. I just state this so you know our volume. -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com closing the doors that surround me so no one will ever penetrate complete my retreat just to wait for the day that never comes so i will laugh alone -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Adobe Reader 7.0.8. 05/22/2006 on SUSE 10.1 only shows white pages, sometimes with the wrong page format; should be A4. I noticed that Acrobat Professional 6 7 on Windows also displays blank pages. I then tried to read them with Scribus, without success. It says: ... not in an acceptable format. 2 Questions: 1. How can I convert them to be read by Adobe and Scribus, or 2.

Maybe I should explain more what I'm about to do, it's not really a full text scan.. The images are from a dozen or so different photographers, who all put their copyright notice in text on every image. What I want to accomplish is to categorize them all according to who took the picture, in other words, sort them by photographer name. So, the OCR should only read one or two words out of a maximum of 4-6 words somewhere in the image. It's also a one-time thing to do, so I cannot motivate a license cost for a fully fledged OCR suite. I'll take a look at the links you provided, thanks! Well, I'm only half-joking when I say you might be better off just hiring a few illegal aliens and having them do data entry. OCR really only lends itself to higher volume work that is repeated often. It has high setup costs and takes a huge amount of time to get the confidence levels to anything above 80%. I have staff members, who spend a majority of their time simply tweaking and refining OCR templates to ensure the scanned forms get above 95% accuracy. (When looking at 3M documents times 4+ fields per document, you have roughly 12,000,000 OCR fields per year. 95% accuracy means that you still have 600,000 fields incorrect, which translates to a huge labor cost.) In any case, I wish you luck. That all said, I just checked with SMART and found two OCR items we have available. 1. gOCR - GOCR is a free OCR (Optical Character Recognition) project that provides a library, a command line version, and an X interface. Although the program is in an early development state, the results are very impressive. 2. GNU Ocrad is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program implemented as a filter and based on a feature extraction method. It reads a bitmap image in PBM format and outputs text in the ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) charset. It can be used as a stand-alone console application or as a back-end to other programs. gocr is another interesting command line OCR tool. Both can be plugged into Kooka, the KDE scan and OCR program. -- k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I used xsane, but have so many scans that work under Linux with Konqueror and KPDF, that I did not suspect any problems. I need to somehow convert them to Adobe readability for the M$ world. I suspect the pdf format is saves is not the same as that of Adobe. There is only one pdf format. If acrobat can't read it, it is broken. You could try to convert to ps, then back to pdf, or something of the sort. However, I dislike using pdf for scanned material: anything like png, jpg, or preferably, djvu, is better. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] Communicating with Vista

Have tne new install write its loader to the partition you are installing it on (/boot or / depending on how you partition the older release) and after the install, add a new entry to your 10.2 /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot the older release from its /boot/kernel and initrd. thanks, it does seem to be the easiest. but i don't remember if i can get that option with the earlier grub during the install.

It pops up in answers all the time, but those that tried it were not happy with effects on taskbar, as Randal mentioned it. We are neglecting mc which acts like a 'gui', and krusader, which is really a 'gui' mc. Right. The mc is comfortable once one get used to it, and although it has text display it works fine with mouse. For jump start is probably good to see: http://en.opensuse.org/Midnight_Commander and http://en.opensuse.org/Midnight_Commander/Tips The Krusader was in bad shape last time I tried it, some month ago. It crashed twice on the same operation. I can't recall exactly what it was, but as it was just installed, it was proably some simple operation, nothing fancy. I wouldn't recommend it right now. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [opensuse] What I Want
As promised, an update on my progress (or lack thereof) in getting Firefox/KDE/Linux to view various video clips in Yahoo's video section. I have 3 systems: A) P3/900MHz/256MB ram Gateway E-4400, B) Dell P3/900MHz/256MB ram C) P4/2.4GHz/512MB ram. A and C were running Suse 10.2, B is running Fedora Core 6. A and C had trouble viewing some video clips at Yahoo, C could view those ok. Now, the update: Sometime during the weekend C started working ok. Not sure what I did, but it worked. I blew away Suse 10.2 and put FC-6 on A and then started a marathon session that wasted most of my weekend. The last thing I saw was Firefox running mplayerplug-in try 3 times to play a stream... I got a burst of sound, then a retry, a burst, etc and after the third try it quit, just like it did while running Suse 10.2. ALSO, the driver for the nvidia MX-400 card that I installed would not compile with either the 2.6.18 original kernel source or the 2.6.20 upgrade. I had to get the legacy nvidia driver from livna.org, which crashes when presented with glx. (that is a separate problem, unrelated to the mplayerplugin issue). FC-6 comes with a generic nv driver which won't do polygons but doesn't crash with glx. So, the original problem is still there in that computer, using a different OS and different file installation locations. I am beginning to think that I have a hardware incompatibility issue instead of a software problem. Suse may be off the hook after all. Gateways of that era are notorious for being marginal, at best. Maybe I'll load XP on it and trade it for another box. Fred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The only OCR I've ever used that was worth the trouble was Xerox Textbridge. This was a few years ago. I'd dealt with a lot of really crummy OCR apps, so I was duly impressed when I gave it a page out of a magazine, in two-column format with pictures, and it produced nearly flawless text. It even identified the columns properly instead of mixing them together. I think there were two typos (OCRos?) on the whole page. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] User profile management
Hi, I've got an old PC that's called server which runs SuSE 9.3. Basically it's a samba file server for 5 Windows clients. It knowes every user so that they can access Samba. There is no local user access besides that. Up until now I configured all our (few) users on every PC so that they could ... well ... roam would be a rather big word. Would it be possible keep all profile infos on the server and let Windows (2000) grab it on login-time from the server? Actually it's like that. I talked to a buddy on weekend who is currently starting a new business. He'll have within a year 25-50 desktop workplaces with very limited needs. It might end up with a browser that runs a web-based application. So I boldly proposed a pure Linux play. Some other guy - who advised him in IT stuff until now - told him that he needed a Windows small business server to host Active Directory and an Exchange server plus MS-SQL. Could someone point me to a Howto for windows-profile management with Linux? A nice groupware for mail, adresses and dates would be handy, too. The database should be PostgreSQL, I guess. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
