=== Use optical character recognition (OCR) to answer questions === | |||
A regular maintenance visit, for example, inspecting a piece of machinery, can often be smooth if your questionnaire is well-designed and guides users through all the necessary steps. The process of registering a new piece of machinery into the database can be much more complicated and prone to errors. If the inspector has to read some details about a piece of machinery and enter them into the app... OCR comes to the rescue. Users can take a photo of the product label, let the device extract text from the image, and use the text as answers. | |||
# Edit a questionnaire template. | |||
# Go to '''Options''' and set '''Feature version''' to 3 or later. | |||
# Select a question of the type "Text" or "Multiple Lines of Text". | |||
# On the '''Properties''' pane, select '''Enable OCR'''. | |||
# As '''OCR reference image''', do one of the following: | |||
#* Select one of the existing images from the questionnaire template. The image answer will be used as an OCR source. This must be a single-image answer (Max Count=1). | |||
#* Leave the field empty. Users can create or choose an image as usual, but the image won't be saved as part of the questionnaire. | |||
# Save all changes. | |||
In the app, OCR is available for Android, iOS, and Windows UWP editions of the app; both offline and online. The exact function and performance depend on the capability of the device's native OCR library. As usual, large and high-resolution images may take a while to process. Resco cannot guarantee the quality and/or performance of the OCR library. | |||
The app displays the image with extracted text superimposed on it. Users can select which line of text from the image they want to save into a particular text field. They can edit the extracted phrase before storing it as the answer. | |||
