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).
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 Skaneet 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 the result and then check on the preview screen.
6. Paste on any text application you want e.g. SMS messaging, chat windows etc.
7. It creates a floating icon selections if you close the app or navigate (via back button) out of it. It has three floating icons - drag (hand), scan (scan icon) and exit (X icon).
