Optical Character Recognition, abbreviated as OCR, is the automatic text recognition using a respective algorithm on an image (originating from a live camera feed, for example).
UBIK® Clients are capable of OCR for the sake of identifying objects ().
Preconditions
Android
On Android devices, the UBIK® SmartClient app providing the OCR scanner has to be installed. UBIK® objects to be found by OCR tag have to be classified as such, using the Object with OCR Text Classification.
 | The UBIK® SmartClient and its OCR scanner are still in an early development state. Don't expect the feature to be perfect yet! |
Windows
On the Windows 8 client until version 2.4.3, the optical code classification must be used. In later versions, the classification Object with OCR Text Classification must be used. The object to be found has to be available on the device, since online search currently is not enabled for this feature.
Usage
Android
The navigation drawer provides a Scanning element, which has a sub-item OCR (). Clicking on it will start the OCR scanner and if a tag has been recognized successfully, the scanner will automatically close and show the result in a list. If the scanner doesn't find anything, a click on the screen will close it (without showing results).
