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
- On Android devices, the UBIK® SmartClient app providing the OCR scanner has to be installed (see release portal).
- For Android, UBIK® objects to be found by OCR tag have to be classified as such, using the Object with OCR Text Classification.
- For the Windows 8 client until version 2.4.3, the optical code classification must be used instead. In later versions, the same classification as for Android will be used.
- The object to be found has to be available on the device, since online search currently is not enabled for this feature.
 | The UBIK® SmartClient and its OCR scanner are still in an early development state. Don't expect the feature to be perfect yet! |
Usage
UBIK® 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).
