All about the Text-Image Recognation

2009-06-02T15:08:00.004+07:00

Some may be asking why I post a lot articles about converting text in PDF to text in Microsoft Word. This morning, my boss ask me to re-type a document because she lost the soft copy. Then I was starting to spin my brain. Fortunately, we have a photocopy machine that also can be used for scanning the document. Then, I can copy the text to word. However, unfortunately, the photocopy machine doesn't have a text recognation. So, it will only convert it to "image" PDF file, instead of "text" PDF file. Arrrg, then the only solution is GOOOOOGLING!!! Then I got a lot references. One of them is OCR software.

The most popular OCR software is Omnipage and FineReader. If you’re thinking buying and using it to perform OCR, you better think twice because Omnipage cost a whopping $499.99 and FineReader cost $249. Of course, the bulky and expensive OCR software has a lot of other powerful features but if you only want to convert image to text, here are a few FREE OCR software which you can consider.

1. TopOCR [ Download TopOCR ]
2. FreeOCR.net [ Download FreeOCR.net ]
3. SimpleOCR [ Download SimpleOCR ]

My recomendation is TopCR. Easy to use and easy to install but reliable. Though the other options also deserve to be tried. :)

OCR Technology - Paper to text - Text Recognition

2009-06-02T14:56:00.003+07:00

A scanner and an OCR software are the key components of a “paperless office”.

The scanner helps you bring existing paper documents like letters, invoices, books and faxes into the computer while the OCR software converts these scanned images into editable and searchable formats like PDF or Microsoft Word.

The program that came bundled with your scanner is probably good for controlling the quality of your scans but that’s just half the job done because image scans aren’t searchable and are therefore impossible to manage in the long term.

To complete the cycle, here are some of the best software tools and online services that will assist you in making a successful move towards a “paperless office”:

Abbyy FineReader – Abbyy FineReader 9 is an extremely powerful OCR software packed in an easy and very intuitive interface. It the only software you need in your quest for a paperless office though it doesn’t come cheap.

As you open a scanned image inside Abby FineReader, it automatically analyzes different areas of the image that contain text, tables or pictures. The software can even recognize different languages and fonts used in the document.

In my test run, the software successfully managed to extract text from an old manuscript with excellent accuracy. I then tried Abbyy FineReader 9 with a photograph of the Wall Street Journal newspaper (credit) that was captured with a digital camera and the results were equally impressive.

Abbyy 9 also features a Screenshot Reader utility that can directly extract text from any area of your desktop screen be it a wallpaper, a Flash presentation or a photo on Flickr.

The built-in spell checker suggests spellings and will help you quickly fix words that could be recognized by the Abbyy FineReader. The scanned documents can then be exported as searchable PDF files, Word documents or even HTML web pages.

Adobe Acrobat 9 – Adobe Acrobat (not the free Adobe Reader) can directly scan paper documents to searchable PDF documents.

In the test run, Acrobat could accurately scan a newspaper clipping with fairly high level of noise though it did not manage to preserve the layout while exporting the scanned image to a Word document.

Acrobat is again a commercial software but it does come bundled with some scanners.

SimpleOCR – Unlike Abbyy FineReader or Adobe Acrobat, Simple OCR software is a fairly basic solution but it is completely free and may appeal to budget conscious consumers.

Simple OCR lets you proof-read the scanned image as text so you can fix inaccuracies before exporting the scanned image as plain text.

Scribd iPaper – If you have piles of paper documents in your office, you can easily get rid of them by sending everything in a snail mail to Scribd – this service will convert all your paper clutter into digital documents for free.

Scribd will also run your documents through their own OCR software so everything remains searchable as well.

Evernote – This is not an OCR software but it can easily recognized text in image. So if you have scanned a bunch of electricity bill receipts as images, you may use Evernote to locate them on the hard drive. The software is free and available for Mac and Windows.

Qipit, Snapter and ScanR are pretty similar solutions – they help use a digital camera or a mobile phone as a scanner. You capture a newspaper clipping, a page from a magazine or the conference room whiteboard room with your camera phone and turn to these services for extracting text out of the images.

How to manage your scanned documents ?

Once you have converted your scanned images into scanned documents, you can bulk upload them to Google Docs (that comes with Google Apps) via email.

Alternatively, you can put everything on an hard drive and index them using Google Desktop search or via Windows Vista’s built-in search indexer.

Harvest Moon - Back to Nature

2009-04-07T14:30:00.000+07:00

I like this game so much. I played it when I was at Junior High School. Therefore, in this chance, I would like to share about this game Yah, just consider I want to have a nostalgia about this game ^^

Gameplay

In the game, Shinichi (who can be renamed if the player so wishes) begins with a ramshackle farm, enough money to begin small-scale crop farming and no standing within the Mineral Town community. Over the course of the game, the player must build a thriving farm, and become friends with the citizens of Mineral Town. Whilst gameplay typically involves the acts of farming itself and interacting with the people the character meets, almost all of the actions a player makes must be balanced with the two most overriding factors of the game, time and money. A third factor, energy, threads through them both, but not in all circumstances and to an ever-decreasing extent as the game progresses.

Time passes whilst players traverse the village or remain outside buildings. The growing of crops and raising of livestock requires daily attention and the expenditure of time. The old and inefficient tools the player begins the game with cause crop farming to be a slow and unproductive way of earning money. Upgrading the tools requires time and money. Once the tools have been upgraded, it allows the player to farm more efficiently, resulting in more crops being grown at once. This results in more money being earned and more options becoming available. As the cashflow increases, the ability to upgrade tools further, buy more seeds of a higher quality at once and purchase livestock enables the player to increase their earnings yet further.

Players who find that they have purchased enough upgrades, extensions and stock for the farm and begin to keep their profit from farming will also find that they have suddenly acquired a lot of time as well. Instead of toiling over small patches of crops, they'll be tending far greater amounts of crops yet spending a fraction of the time doing so. This slow build-up to a sudden change of fortunes is a trademark of the Harvest Moon series. The common factor in this sudden turnaround of fortunes is the poor state of the farm at the beginning of the game, several of the game's 'days' are spent making the fields suitable for seed planting. This also is a common occurrence in the Harvest Moon series.

In Back to Nature, since the passing of Shinichi's grandfather, the farm has fallen into disuse and the fields have become overgrown with weeds. Once this initial obstacle is cleared, the player can then start to expand on these most basic tasks as they proceed to build up the value of their produce. There is no requirement for crops to be planted immediately or for any other tasks to be performed upon starting a new game, though players have a limited number of days before being asked to leave the farm if it remains in disrepair.

Energy is the other concern facing players who wish to be successful, particularly in the early stages of the game. The main character can perform a limited amount of tasks each day. Rather than displaying an energy bar, the game instead shows the character becoming more tired as he performs more tasks and spending time in a daze. Repeatedly pushing Shinichi beyond exhaustion will result in him passing out and having to visit the local hospital. Shinichi's maximum energy can be increased by locating hidden "power berries" scattered throughout the town. Energy can be regained through rest, eating, or visiting the local hot springs.

The weather can affect how the player completes their goals during that day. Regardless of season, most days are calm and do not cause adverse or positive affects on the player's activities. Rainfall results in crops being watered without player intervention, freeing time to pursue other goals, but at the same time, can cause the player to develop a cold, forcing him not to work for a day. Hurricanes and blizzards cause the destruction of crops, the loss of certain livestock if they're left outside and also prevent the character from leaving his home for the day.

Story

Years ago, the main character, Shinichi, came to his grandfather's farm for the summer. His grandfather was too busy taking care of the farm to spend much time with the boy, but the boy was free to explore the town and the forest as he wished. Shinichi befriended his grandfather's puppy and met a little girl his own age with whom he became close friends.

When the summer was over, the boy had to go back home, but he promised the little girl that he would return someday. He was waiting a very long time to meet her again

When Shinichi's grandfather died years later, Shinichi had grown into a young man, and he came to the town again to take over the farm. The mayor talked things over with the village, and they had decided that Shinichi could stay as the rightful owner if he could restore the farm back to its original state. But if Shinichi couldn't restore the farm, or wasn't able to get along with the villagers(or failed to woo a girl), he would have to leave.

Outbuildings

The barn holds your cows and sheep, like the farmhouse this building can be expanded. Players interested in keeping livestock will spend time talking to their animals, brushing and feeding them in this building. If they are healthy and happy, you can get milk from the cows daily, and wool from the sheep weekly. The barn is where wool and milk processing machinery will be delivered, once they are purchased.

The stable provides living space for a horse, should the player choose to accept an invitation to care for the animal. You do not need to feed him, but he does prefer to be outside. If players treat their horse well, he will become an adult and can help carry crops. This enables Shinichi to work more efficiently as he doesn't have to run back to the shipping box when his inventory is full. If the horse is not properly cared for, there is a chance he may be removed from the farm.

The chicken coop provides room for five birds but can be expanded like the farmhouse. After the expansion you can keep up to 10 chickens. There is also an incubator to hatch chicks. The egg processing machine will be placed here if purchased by the Player.

All livestock can be taken or lead outside in order to feed themselves, though all dislike being left out in bad weather or during rain.

Though all the outbuildings which house livestock are present from the outset, players must pay for a hothouse to be built if they require one. Within the hothouse, any crop can be grown, even those out of season. Purchasing the hothouse enables crops to be grown and harvested during winter; this being the only way to farm crops during that season. Extreme weather conditions can destroy the hothouse, since it is not built to withstand such force. Players must consider whether they're willing to risk the expense of losing the hothouse and its contents, balanced by the opportunities it presents.

Arable Land

You can clear the land by pulling weeds, breaking rocks, and chopping stumps for lumber. Many experienced players like to keep the small rocks for fences later in the game rather than break them, this is smart(it also can be used for a recipe) because rocks don’t break during hurricanes or bad weather like normal wooden fences sometimes do (Fences are useful to keep control of the animals when they're out of their respective buildings). Your first hammer and ax are capable of dealing with only small rocks and branches (you can also just put the rocks and branches in your rucksack, and move them to another part of the field where they won't be in the way). After you upgrade the tools at least once, you can chop up stumps and break the large, smooth rocks. To do this, equip the appropriate tool, face the object, then hold and swing six, three, two or one times without moving, depending on which ore you upgraded your tool with. If you move, you will have to start over.

Upgraded tools will break and chop things with fewer strokes. The heavy and bulky rocks(not the smooth ones)cannot be broken with the first hammer upgrade.

Once you have cleared the land, you can till it using a hoe and then plant seeds. If you water the seeds daily, they will grow, and eventually you can harvest them and sell the crops. Some crops are single-harvest (such as potato) while others multi-harvest able (such as corn) and will give harvests until the season changes and the crops die,unless if you have a 'hothouse'.

There is a different set of crops for each season (spring, summer, fall), and none can be grown in winter without the purchase of a 'hothouse' in which all types of seeds can be grown.

Once you get the fishing pole from Greg and are able to catch fish, you can add any fish to the pond by throwing them into the water. Should you decide to raise fish you will need to feed them daily. In doing so they will breed. The fish do grow up (small fish become medium fish then become big fish). However during the winter the pond freezes over making feeding and removal of the fish impossible. (It can be noted that the player is free to remove the fish, store them in their refrigerator for any period of time and return them to the fish pond with no negative effects.)

Mineral Town and Surrounding Area

After tending their farm, players can visit Mineral Town to stock up on farming goods, mingle with the townspeople and even indulge in some fishing on the seafront or rivers. Most of the characters in Back to Nature live within Mineral Town itself, making trips into town good sources of gossip and a chance to woo Shinichi's potential brides.

Whilst most of the townsfolk can be seen following their routines and walking around the town, the player is not discouraged from entering the homes of townsfolk. Many will converge at the marketplace during the day to gossip.

The town's shops stock seeds, farming machinery, wine, cookery ingredients and other items. The ranch and chicken farm are located here too, giving the player the option of adding to his livestock herd and flock. Mineral Town offers services also, ranging from the church for confessional to the library for research. The blacksmith can upgrade tools to enable more efficient farm work whilst the clinic is available for health checks and assistance, should Shinichi become ill. The harvest sprites reside behind the church, they can provide assistance with farm work should the player befriend them.

Festivals are for the main part focused within the town itself, be it the tomato-flinging contest in the town square, the harvest festival in church or the various animal competitions where the player's animals compete against entrants from farms further afield. Players who make the effort to befriend the townsfolk will find that they are more often than not invited to attend festivals rather than turning up on the day having been informed of the festival by watching television.

Outside Mineral Town itself, beyond Shinichi's farm, a forest and mountain are located. Besides offering a plentiful supply of lumber, the forest is home to the carpenter, who is key to upgrading the farm buildings and progressing further into the game.

At the base of the mountain lies the hot spring, which will allow players to increase Shinichi's energy if he has been worn down by the rigors of his work. Nearby is a mine, where players can obtain a variety of ores. Ores have several purposes, not least being required to upgrade farm tools, thus increasing efficiency of crop farming.

Further up the mountain players will find a lake, there is another mine in the center of this lake, but since Shinichi cannot swim, players will have to find another way to gain entry. The mountain peak is both remote and romantic, during a couple of festivals the townsfolk will gather here to take in the view and celebrate the holiday.

How to configure ePSXE

2009-04-07T14:11:00.000+07:00

=============================================================

Saya berikan program ePSXe yang dapat di download secara gratis dengan OS Microsoft Windows.

1. Ke http://www.epsxe.com/download.php

2. Pilih yang "ePSXe v1.7.0" dengan deskripsi "ePSXe executeable (Win32)"

3. Extract seluruh file yang ada dalam WinRAR ke folder tertentu.

Saya menyarankan ke C:\ Program Files\ ePSXe\ emulator\
(jika belum ada foldernya, bisa dibuat)

Pada tahap ini program ePSXe belum dapat digunakan karena belum ada pengaturannya.

4. Download pengaturannya di: http://www.ngemu.com/psx/epsxe.php?action=plugins

Ada banyak pengaturan yang harus di download. Berikut langkah²nya.

5. Ada 4 pengaturan yang harus didownload. Yang pertama adalah pengaturan grafis.
Pada bagian "Windows Plugins - Graphic Plugins", download "P.E.Op.S. GPU v1.18b" jika VGA anda kecil (antara 64MB - 128 MB)

Atau download "Pete's GPU Plugins v1.77" jika VGA anda besar (di atas 128 MB)
Cara mendownload adalah dengan memilih gambar DISKET yang ada di sebelah kanan. Di atas gambar rumah.

Lalu yang kedua adalah pengaturan suara.
Pada bagian "Windows Plugins - Sound Plugins" (ada di bawah "Graphic Plugins yang sebelumnya di download), download "P.E.Op.S. DSound v1.9" karena hasil suaranya mendekati sempurna.
Cara mendownloadnya juga sama, dengan memilih gambar DISKET yang ada di sebelah kanan.

Lalu yang ketiga adalah pengaturan CD.
Pada bagian "Windows Plugins - CD Plugins" (ada di bawah "Sound Plugins yang sebelumnya di download), download "CDR Mooby v2.8" karena dapat memainkan hampir semua game Playstation One. Termasuk Harvest Moon: Back To Nature.
Cara mendownloadnya juga sama, dengan memilih gambar DISKET yang ada di sebelah kanan.

Lalu yang keempat adalah pengaturan input.
Pada bagian "Windows Plugins - Input Plugins" (ada di bawah "CD Plugins yang sebelumnya di download), download "WinMM PAD Driver 0.03" menurut gw ini yang terbaik.
Cara mendownloadnya juga sama, dengan memilih gambar DISKET yang ada di sebelah kanan.

Untuk "Misc. Plugins" boleh download boleh tidak. File ini digunakan untuk menggunakan fitur "netplay".

6. Extract seluruh plugins yang telah didownload ke folder plugins yang ada di dalam ePSXe. Jika anda mengikuti tepat seperti gw dari awal, artinya folder ini ada di:
C:\ Program Files\ ePSXe\ emulator\ plugins\

Pada tahap ini, program ePSXe masih belum dapat digunakan. Karena program ini masih belum dapat membaca file sistem Playstation One. Oleh karena itu digunakan BIOS. Langkah downloadnya adalah sebagai berikut:

7. Download BIOS di:
http://dragonballarena.gamesurf.it/english/media/giochi/psx.php
Download "BIOS PSX (scph1001.bin)". Download dengan cara memilih tulisan "DOWNLOAD"

8. Extract file BIOS ke:
C:\ Program Files\ ePSXe\ emulator\ bios\

Pada tahap ini ePSXe belum diatur. Anda harus mengaturnya, caranya adalah dengan langkah² berikut:

1. Jalankan program ePSXe yang ada di folder C:\ Program Files\ ePSXe\ emulator\ ePSXe.exe.

2. Pada bagian "Toolbar" (sebelah atas), pilih "Config > Video". Pilih antara "Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.77" (untuk spesifikasi komputer yang tinggi) atau "P.E.Op.S. Soft Driver 1.18" (untuk spesifikasi komputer yang standar).
Lalu pilih "Configure". Aturlah, atau jika anda malas mengatur, silahkan lihat di sebelah kiri bawah ada tab "Default Settings". Pilih "Fast" untuk mengatur grafis ePSXe ke arah performa, atau pilih "Nice" untuk mengatur grafis ePSXe ke arah kualitas.

Pilih OK.

3. Lalu pilih "Config > Sound". Pilihlah "P.E.Op.S. DSound Audio Driver 1.9" lalu pilih "Configure". Aturlah kualitas suara ePSXe anda.

Pilih OK.

4. Pilih "Config > Cdrom". Pilih "Mooby2 cd disk image driver 2.8" untuk pengaturan yang lebih rumit, atau pilih ePSXe "CDR WNT/W2K core 1.5.2." untuk pengaturan yang lebih mudah. Pilih drive CD-ROM yang komputer anda gunakan.

Pilih OK.

5. Pilih "Config > Bios". Pilih "Select" lalu cari file BIOS yang sebelumnya didownload (file scph1001.bin).

Pilih OK.

6. Pilih "Config > Game Pad > Pad1" lalu atur sesuai keinginan anda.

Pada tahap ini program ePSXe sudah dapat digunakan tapi belum dapat melakukan proses "save". Karena "Memory Card" belum diidentifikasi. ePSXe secara langsung menyertakan file "memory card" berupa file "epsxe001.mcr" namun anda bisa copy file ini dengan nama berbeda.

Untuk mengindentifikasi, ikuti langkah berikut:

Pilih "Config > Memory card" pada bagian 1, pilih select lalu pilih "memory card" yang akan digunakan. Lakukan juga pada bagian ke-2.
