A templatable OCR app that maps areas or shapes to excel fields.
If you have a product tag with different serial numbers or product details and a standard layout it would be really useful to be able to scan for a tag shape, apply an overlay with each block of relevant data and then map that block to a cell address.
Take photo of product tag x100 OCR and edge find on product tag Select/draw areas Assign areas to spreadsheet cell or column. Apply and check with second photo. Confirm function and process next 97 images automatically.
Thought of it for work but would be great for food labels and nutrition information collation as well. All sorts of paper->digital stuff.
There have been attempts at this with store receipts, so you quickly scan your groceries into your budget or inventory app. That has been a difficult problem, in part because stores change receipts so much.
I’ve seen and used the on the fly versions for expensing receipts and such but I’ve run into standardized tags at work a few times where it would be nice.
Hear me out about GIMP - there’s this patch that re-arranges it to be as close to Photoshop as possible: github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMPOf course it’s not 100% the same, but I think you should give it a try.
A cross-platform status monitor for gamers to be able to tell what games their friends on other platforms are playing. PlayStation, XBox, PC, etc.
I looked into it and decided that it probably isnt really feasible because each vendor intentionally blocks this kind of thing. It would also be a nightmare to maintain, I am sure.
I know it doesn’t tick the boxes but there technicality is a Microsoft made, open source, alternative to Explorer. The original File Manager for Windows 3.1 and it is still seeing active development. Just thought to bring it to attention for a bit of nostalgic fun but I actually find myself using it a fair bit.
vscode extension that summarizes Java’s exceptions for me so that I can easily find what’s wrong and which line caused it instead of scrolling through 100 lines of exception/error stack.
There aren’t a lot of software I wish existed, but there is one I’m helping to work on. Having a similar concept to theHypothesistoolbar, it’s a fanmade combination of Pokémon Go and a toolbar. Imagine, instead of travelling the world and seeing Pokémon superimposed on the world, you’re travelling the internet and see Pokémon superimposed on random webpages.
