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.

Intentions

This is basically a personal project that I also have intentions on using to my portfolio.

I believe in "learning from trying". I'm a very lazy boy when it comes to reading and self-study - though I'm more of a visual type of person, I learn more easily on a classroom set-up and visual aids and the works. I am also more drawn to learning if I force myself to a project and from, uhm, teaching other people. Don't get me wrong, I don't consider myself a teacher - what I do is mostly sharing my personal experiences.

What this blog is about?

Software development - everything about computer programming but specifically on Java technology covering JEE and Android. Will probably include UI software development tools as well.

There will be posts on simple to complex code snippets. Programming technique, designs, and troubleshooting. And even demos. Probably, sometimes, even commentary on the computing world.

What this blog isn't about?

Hmmm, I probably won't discuss here anything not on the Java realm.

That's about it.

Let's get started!

(Actually we already started with the first two entries about Skaneet)

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. Current version is 1.1 and the Google Play link is this . Updated the description as well: Skaneet is a free OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and text scanning Android application which uses Google Vision API. 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. Unlike other OCR apps that uploads photos before scanning the image and converting captured images to text this app uses the camera to recognize and capture text, store in clipboard and paste anywhere for editing. So it basically: - Open camera to view image - Convert image to text - Save text to clipboard - And paste or edit anywhere This particular application is primarily dedicated (for the meantime) in capturing text selection(s).

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
