Apple lucreaza la un scanner destinat aparatelor mobile

Baietii de la 9to5Mac se ocupa din nou cu zvonuri frumoase (aproape incredibile), anuntand o viitoare aplicatie scanner destinata iOS. Daca esti curios sa vezi cum poate functiona iPhone-ul ca un scanner, iata ce publica site-ul 9to5Mac:

1. The user opens the app and holds the iPhone over the document or object they want scanned. They then snap a picture of it. Apple’s on-board software then resizes the image to ‘letter’ or business card, A4 or whatever depending on original document. Resizing includes aligning edges that get skewed by a single scan point rather than traditional scanning methods. The user can then manually change the size of the document or the use (biz card?)
2. On board software then separates images blocks from text.
3. This is where it gets murky. At last word, Apple was trying to do OCR both on-device and using alternative cloud methods for recognizing text. Third party Optical Character Recognition (OCR) vs. in house solutions were also being tested.
4. The resulting file can then be saved as a PDF, .Pages, exported to contacts (in the case of the business cards for example).

Nu avem nicio informatie legata de integrarea respectivei aplicatii in iOS 5, nici in cadrul suitei iWork, nici individual. Oricum, daca Apple se hotaraste sa lanseze o astfel de aplicatie, vestile vor fi devastatoare pentru cei care deja produc aplicatii de scanat pentru iPhone, iPad si iPod touch.
