Bio

I am A. Dimaano and this is my non-professional blog about Information Technology and my professional experiences in software development. Entries on this site are focused on my personal experiences in this field of industry and some small bits and pieces of tutorial about selected computer science technologies - specifically the ones I have personal experience using. Introduction of the blog Technologies that will be discussed here will be mostly about Java Technologies (Android, JEE, JSP etc.) and .NET Technologies (C#, XAML and Xamarin Forms). Some blog entries will be just code snippets. Some will be troubleshooting tips. Some are installation procedures. And there will be also some small but complete code walthrough and samples.

Skaneet V1.1 - Software Update

I had to change the name of the mobile application in code. There is actually a company named SkanIt =( So I renamed the OCR image to text app from SkanIt to Skaneet.

It is an image to text mobile software application. You can view any image text and scan it then paste anywhere. As easy as View and Scan then Paste.

Skaneet - New Mobile App

I have uploaded a pet project on Google Play just now - it is called Skaneet. Below is the short description from Google Play ... Skaneet is a free OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and text scanning Android application which uses Google Vision API. This particular application is primarily dedicated (for the meantime) in capturing text selection(s). See the images below on how to use the application. (A video tutorial will be uploaded soon) Visit my website below for updates on this app and future new Android applications. This can be considered (initially) as a pet project. Improvements will be done after user comments/suggestions. An equivalent Apple application will be launched soon. Instructions: 1. Click on SkanIt icon 2. Click 'DETECT TEXT' to start scanning text. Note that text can be read per sentence, block, or paragraph. 3. Select the text section you want to copy. 4. The preview will display the text copied. 5. Re-scan if not satisfied with t
