Hi everyone,
I am new to Android development but I have been learning on the way as I create my first OCR app using Firebase in Java. I essentially followed a youtube video to create the app but I had the following problems that I needed help with:
1) If I take the picture in landscape, the app can detect the text. However, when I take the picture in portrait, the captured image is rotated 90 degrees and the app cannot detect the text in the image. Whats the simplest way for me to resolve this?
2) Currently I take the picture with the phone's camera and this image is displayed in the app. I click my detect text button and the text appears. But I would like to see some bounding boxes on the images that shows what Firebase ML kit is seeing.
3) Also when I take a simple screenshot of a smartphone pin screen, the app can detect most of the numbers, but it always seems to miss one. I assume this is because I am using the local on phone version of Firebase ML kit, but is it possible to make it more accurate without running on cloud. I am currently using:
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ml-vision:16.0.0'
Thanks

ImageMap Plus is the geotag application for your windows phone 7. Windows phone 7 already geotags all your photos. This app allows you not only to see your existing photos on a world map, but also view all exif tags and even edit some (including modifying location or adding location info to photos that don't have it). I'm currently running a private beta-test for it and have slots available! Please PM me if you want to take part in the beta-testing!
Nice app
Also Post the difference between the Image Map App and this app. Would like to know.

I'm sorry if I didn't really make it clear. Image Map is a very basic exit viewer. Image Map Plus is a more advanced exit EDITOR. With this app you can not only see, but also change geolocation and some text fields (I don't think it makes sense to change all fields though).
iight. I will check it out in more detail. Have got the basic app also installed.
On the other note, I loved the Animation that was happening on the Map.
Thank you! And yes, animation should still happen in Plus version too!
Hello guys,
My gf is using the note, and in the office she has found it rather useful for taking notes on the go during a meeting, using the app included from Samsung. She can rapidly take the phone, snap a picture (of the product being presented in the meeting), then either write some annotations with the pen or using swype (the pen is also cool, as she can make arrows or lines to sketch up some ideas). But the problem with the samsung app: It can only save as JPEG. Also, once the note is saved, it cannot be edited anymore (or doesn't look like, at least you can't move around the pictures she snapped...you'd need to create a new note and reimport the picture or something).
Is there any app to save to PDF? We tried Evernote, but it's a pain in the ass (upload, then sync from PC app, print, use pdfcreator). Onenote for android doesn't seem to have any export options. What do you guys think?
Thank you!
There is a Adobe PDF Creator app. Its not free though, but could be a solution?
Hi,
I love the picture editor that comes up when I take a screenshot (either using the stylus or by swiping the screen), in particular the annotation feature. However, I cant for the life of me figure out how to launch the app independently. I'm asking because I would like to annotate existing pictures in my gallery and share them via email/whatsapp etc. It seems the only way to bring up the app is by taking a screenshot. At the moment my workaround is to open the image in my gallery, take a screenshot, annotate and then share it.
Its bugged me for a while and I cant seem to find anything about it in the forums.
Any help will be much appreciated.
I guess when u open photo editor and select the image, go to the bottom right option and select spen. it allows u to use the pen and annotate

The interface must improve. should be cleaner and simple. and the navigation also.

Cluttered user interface on LG G2
after first run the user interface is rather cluttered with text behind the icons etc.
after doing the first capture it seems like the UI is improved, but all text is now missing.
Should be some attachments that gives you more into detail what happens.

I like the idea
I tried it in my Samsung Galaxy Mega and it had some difficulties. I was able to take a picture but when I tried to enhance the photo the app closed. Tried this several times. I'll keep playing around with it and see if there is a way to make it work.
Is it possible to connect the phone with pc and then it would work like a scanner if it can then it will be more awesome... :what: :what: but still its a awesome discovery and creation.... by you... :thumbup::thumbup:

Great work.. !!.. scanned documents are more clear.. more user friendly :good:
App is good
Comes in handy some times.
seems to work as described. thanks! great app!
Really handy bc at the hospital, they seem to be stuck in the fax era, so this is a nice way to get documents to people without having to find a fax machine
great app. very handy and easy to use.
thanks
Looks like a useful app!
What I didn't like in a quick check:
- I don't like the 3D carousel view, an option to have a simpler view would be useful.
- after the edges were marked it asked me to press OK, sometimes it takes very long to accept 'OK' (or process), sometimes doesn't respond to OK at all.
likes:
- good filters to improve resulting scans
- raw image is kept for later edit
It would be easier if I could zoom in the image to determine the edges. Btw its very handy, good job.
I'm running EMUI9 on the Huawei P30 Pro.
When I take a photo, then click on the photo I've just taken in the circle to the left of the "take photo" button (see attached screenshot; photo preview highlighted be the arrow), I get the message:
"Unable to view photos. Please add gallery to the work profile and try again"
What does this mean? What do work profiles have to do with viewing a photo?
Has anyone else seen this before? It's driving me insane because it makes no sense at all, and there's no info about it anywhere. (I've Googled left, right & centre and found nothing...)
TIA.
Same issue after changing default gallery to google photos, this error pops up when i try view photos from the camera app, did you ever find a solution?
I have just been looking at this from the other side: making it work.
I am a novice device admin for our company and found your post when looking to solve the same issue. I just solved it so came back to pass on the details.
From the error I surmise you have the same basic issue as I had - a Huawei phone configured either as a personal phone also used for work, or a company phone which also allows personal use.
To make these changes you will need to be a device administrator for your organisation - if you aren't someone in your IT team should know who is.
I found to make the camera work I added the app package "com.huawei.camera" as an "Android Enterprise System App". For you to get the error this must have already been done on your phone.
The camera app relies on the Gallery app to show photos, so that app also needs adding as an "Android Enterprise System App". Depending on the mobile device admin portal the app category name may be different but the app package name is the same.
It took a while but I finally figured out the app package name to add is: com.android.gallery3d
Once added in the portal, the device policies sync'd and the Gallery appeared a second time in the full app list (with the work profile icon in the corner), the camera app could then allow the photos to be browsed.
Hopefully this helps resolve your issue too.
Jostain: I'll make an educated guess your problem is similar, but the Google Photos app needs to be added tot he work profile. I don't have the app package name for that but it probably won't be hard to find.
I have not long purchased the Honor 50 and I have the exact same. Could anyone shed any light on a solution for this?
I contacted Honor and their solution was to use their default Gallery app!
