Has anyone come across a free OCR app that works on 2.2?
I did a search and came up with this but apparently it doesnt work on froyoyoyo
I just want to scan text from whatever using the camera and either save it and email it or store it some how on the phone or if its a url then open in the browser or if its an email then open gmail etc...
thanks in advance
I am also interested in a general purpose ocr app

Is there an app with the ability to publish text documents to a google docs account? Or is there mabey any talk or plans on developing one for the Android OS?

Okay, I know Flickr (from Yahoo!) is a great photo sharing site, but when Picasa is a Google product, how is it there's no app (that I've seen-maybe I'm missing something) for Picasa for the Eris? It's just odd to me, that's all. I use Picasa like it's going out of style, and I wish there was a way...
Am I missing something? If so, please, do tell!
If you hit share when selecting a photo it lets you choose picasa

Sorry, I guess I was more aiming at finding a Picasa App to view pictures. I apologize for not stating that properly! lol I knew about sharing pics, just wanted to view them like you can on your Flickr account.
picasa, being owned by google, doesnt really need an app per se.
google is just damn good at making mobile websites. none of their software have apps except for things made specifically for apps (shopper, etc), things that wouldn't work well with the current mobile web technologies (finance), or voice, which really does need an app to be more closely integrated with texting/calling, and for it to be able to notify you of new messages.
all of google's services, like reader and picasa, and so many more, just stay online. Google is a very very big "cloud" company. cloud computing is the whole basis of android, and the upcoming chrome os.
Lemcott is correct. Just open your browser and browse to google.com (if that's not already your homepage ), tap 'more' at the top of the page and then select Photos from the drop-down. That gives you access to all of your Picasa albums. Your other option is to use the 3D Gallery app. It syncs with Picasa.
I realize I'll probably get yelled at because the answer is probably somewhere painfully obvious, although I've searched and haven't found anything... How exactly do you save/downloads pictures from the browser or email, etc to your phone? I tried to do a long press and wait for the option to come up, but just isn't happening for me.
Please be nice, it's been a long day... :-/ lol
I struggled with this myself...
for the browser it is long press/hold and an option will come up, but if your at the mobile version of the website you wont be able to (except for some sites) if you switch to desktop view (full html) you will get the long press/hold options.
Email (gmail client) I have not been able to figure it out not sure if there is a way to, except for clicking the attachment and let it open on your phone then save as within the program that opened the attachment or picture, or open gmail in the browser
hope this helps a little, If someone else knows a way please shed some light
I'm trying out 2.2 and have the default email client (not Gmail) set up to sync with an exchange server. I can't open jpg files sent as attachments. I can open other formats (pdf, doc, etc).
I assume this is because the email client doesn't think there's an app set to default for jpg files, but Gallery and Astro both have viewers and open just fine when I click on a jpg file already on my device.
Does anyone know where/how I set the default jpg viewer in such a way that the email client recognizes it?
Thanks!

black moon doesn't seem to work with the default email app (not gmail). It's probably the apps problem. I don't see any way to preview on attachment. As I posted earlier,I only have this problem with jpegs. I can open other files attachments. The open/preview button just isn't there on the jpeg attachments. But thanks for the suggestions!
I was able to open email, pull down notification bar, tap down arrow of attachments, option to save or open attachment.
I use exchange as my primary email app and there doesn't appear to be any search functionality even the email client looks a hell of a lot like outlook in honeycomb. Am I just missing the search feature or is there a better exhange client available?

For whatever reason, Google has never put a search function in their stock email app. You'll have to use touchdown or your company's web mail portal for searching.

How bizarre... a search company not having search in their email app. Very weird.

Anyone know of a place to report missing features to google?
Try K9 mail. The search on it is decent.

Use touchdown, the new one in the Market is designed for honeycomb and looks just like the Google mail app. Has full search even server search.
So I have this app idea (don't we all), I have been programming apps for around two years so im not a beginner, but this is my biggest project to date. I want app to allow users to login using Facebook, it allows them to post a few words to this wall in the app. It allows your Facebook freinds to view these words and they can heart it within the app. This then sends you a notification etc. I know I will need to store data to a external database. What do I store it under, their facebook profile name which I can get from when they login? Would this allow me to then get me all their freinds on Facebook and search through the database for data containing their freinds names to get their likes?
I just need a way to allow users to post, interact and share with all their other freinds of Facebook. Whilst storing data so if they logout and login on someone elses phone they load everything up that was on their phone.
Many Thanks
You will need to use something called Parse, here's a guide to setting it up with a service called Heroku, since Parse has shut down: robpercival.co.uk/parse-setup-on-heroku. Thanks
