For those who do not yet know, the OCR (recognition software character) are able to analyze an image file to extract what the characters might be involved. The objective is to obtain an editable text file and exploitable. It is possible to find applications of this type for almost all environments “desktop” (Windows, Mac OS, Linux), but for the moment, no OCR on mobile environments.This gives might be about to change.
A company called ABBYY Software House has announced the availability of a software development kit (Windows Mobile) specializes in creating applications offering features of character recognition. Specifically, this program is not an OCR itself, but it might give birth to a handful of interesting applications.
The integration of an optical character recognition software on a mobile device could pass for a gadget, but to think about it, the areas of applications could be numerous. Nowadays, the vast majority of devices middle and high end include an objective picture. It could be extremely interesting to exploit the characters finding themselves in the clinches made on the move (opening hours of shops, restaurants menus, creating contact sheets photographing a business card, etc.).. For now, the system may be constrained by the low resolution of the board goals but in the near future, this should give change.
