It works quite well these days but I read a lot of books (obviously scanned) on my Kindle and there are one or two mistakes in most of the books. Context usually digs me out of the problem but the Maths in some papers could produce undetectable errors (undetectable by my Maths brain, at least).pbuk said:Optical character recognition (OCR).
That sounds v intelligent. You mean an improved bolt on when the context reads as garbage? It's a matter of spotting an error in the first place.jedishrfu said:In addition, PDF tools may allow for edits of the searchable text when OCR fails to recognize some scripts.
That could be very demanding. It could involve parsing an equation and working out its meaning from the context. Sort of thing that only an expert in the field of the paper could do. But never say never, about computing.robphy said:A new technology is trying to extract mathematical symbols from handwriting and from scanned images
Journal pages are typically scanned using a flatbed scanner or a document scanner. The pages are placed face-down on the scanner and the scanner uses a light source and sensors to create a digital image of the page.
The most common file format for scanned journal pages is PDF (Portable Document Format). This format allows for high-quality images and text to be preserved and easily shared.
To improve the quality of scanned journal pages, it is important to use a high resolution (at least 300 dpi) and to ensure that the pages are flat and free of any wrinkles or creases. Additionally, adjusting the brightness and contrast settings on the scanner can also improve the quality of the scanned images.
Yes, handwritten notes or annotations on journal pages can be scanned. However, the quality of the scanned notes may vary depending on the legibility of the handwriting and the quality of the scanner.
It is important to consider copyright laws when scanning journal pages. If the journal pages are still under copyright, permission may be required from the publisher or author before scanning and sharing the pages. It is always best to consult with legal counsel before scanning copyrighted material.
