In iOS sample canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace always return NO because authenticationDelegate is never set and so is nil at all times. The most likely resolution is to just remove canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace - the default behavior should be okay.

Hi,

I'm just trying the Windows Phone sample, and I get a
Processing error: The remote server returned an error: NotFound
after sending an image. Is this a problem on your side ?

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: task.ID'
*** First throw call stack:

on line 292
result += '?' + this.customOptions;
should be:
result += '&' + this.customOptions;

also, i think its better to have customOption an object of key/value and not have the user of the library aware of the URLish nature of the fields. (so user does not need to know to add & for multiple custom options).

I have app, which has requirement of scan business card and convert it in contact, this sdk full fill my requirement but that not enough, we need scan business card offline as without having a internet, so will it possible with this sdk, if yes, then please let me know how?

Thanks.

Hi

We've been using the Android sample code to communicate with ABBY OCR. But we noticed that in the plain/text result of the downloadResults request at the beginning of the text there's always a ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE (U+FEFF) character that we had to remove.

Why is that character in the response?

Our current "solution" is to remove the character in the ResultsActivity

contents.toString().replaceFirst("\uFEFF", "")

Posted on the forum 4 days ago (where there are 761 open questions without an accepted answer to 899 answers, hence cross post) http://forum.ocrsdk.com/questions/4649/full-layout-and-text-region-classification-capability-of-cloud-ocr-skd.

I'm trying to recognise semantic information about text regions e.g. headers, footers, page numbers, captions etc. I cannot find any information about how to achieve this in the documentation. Please can you provide a python code example?

I'm currently using the supplied python example here: http://ocrsdk.com/documentation/code-samples/. N.B. In order to get this Python code to work, I had to change line 90 of AbbyyOnlineSdk.py from

return {"Authorization": "Basic %s" % base64.encodestring( ...

to

return {"Authorization": "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode( ...

I'm currently just executing this call:

python process.py infile.png outfile.xml -l English -xml

https://github.com/abbyysdk/ocrsdk.com/blob/a9fddfa68e9cbec6ed8a63d17268a9a6bd65faf1/iOS/OcrSdkDemo/Sources/Client.m#L127

i m using abby's code sample for android. i clicked the "from camera" button. its working fine. But i clicked "from file",i choose the image but then nothing happens just shows activity result.

i solved my problem. but now i have a new problem. this is the first problem solution

go to MainActivty.java and change

Cursor cur = managedQuery(imageUri, projection, null, null, null);//(imageUri return null, lolipop issues i think)

to

Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, projection, null, null, null);

my second problem is ; my photo uploading correctly but response return empty. i can't find the problem please yours android developer can see this problem

I used two methods:

1. the following code (from the ABBYY PyPi page at https://pypi.org/project/ABBYY/):

from ABBYY import CloudOCR

ocr = CloudOCR(application_id=<my_app_id>, password=<my_abbyy_password>)
pdf = open('blah.pdf', 'rb')
file = {pdf.name: pdf}

result = ocr.process_and_download(
  file,
  exportFormat='xml,pdfTextAndImages',
  language='English'
)

print(result)

the value used above in <my_app_id> was the value found on the Application Settings page of my Abbyy Cloud OCR SDK Console, as described here: https://abbyy.technology/en:products:cloud-ocr:where_can_i_find_the_appid

which resulted in

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: http://cloud.ocrsdk.com/processImage?exportFormat=xml%2CpdfTextAndImages&language=English

2. the method suggested at this page (https://www.ocrsdk.com/documentation/quick-start-guide/python-ocr-sdk/) and running the command (after setting ABBYY_APPID and ABBY_PWD):

python process.py -pdf blah.pdf result.txt

which results in

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://cloud-westus.ocrsdk.com/processImage?language=English&exportFormat=pdfSearchable

My guess would be some sort of authentication issue. I'm not sure if I'm using the right application ID, but I'm not sure what else I'd use.

Hi..
I am new in android. I want to make an application which perform ocr.
So i m used your provision..
But when i run app after configuring everything i ll get nothing..no text i m getting after image sucessfully scan..
In logcat it shows : log-entry-corrupt-or-truncated
and
computeValuesWithHarfbuzz — need to force to single run” in Android 4: What does this mean?
How to solve this
please reply m waiting..

I've tried several times now, to open resultUrl which I get from scanning business card. Everytime I get

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <error>  InvalidAuthenticationInfo <message>Authentication information is not given in the correct format. Check the value of Authorization header. RequestId:19048c46-0001-000f-5576-2b1fec000000 Time:2015-11-30T13:56:28.6142735Z</message> </error>

• i've tried using Basic Auth with User/Pass where user is APP and password is APP KEY/PASSWORD.
• i've also tried with No Auth

So, what am I doing wrong then?

I'm using $http requests through Angular App. I've tried to request the GET with POSTMAN with the same result.

Thank you for your feedback.

The iOS example uses: pod "OCRSDKClient", "0.2.1"

That pod uses AFNetworking v1.3.

Do you have any plans to update that to support AFNetworking v2.x?

Happy new year, everyone!
I thank the team for providing this iOS sample project.
I tried to run the project and recognize the sample image in the app.
But I got the following error:

2017-01-06 19:01:01.027 OcrSdkDemo[9668:1150661] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: task.downloadURL'

So I debugged the project, and found that task.downloadURL is null at runtime.
The following is the code snippet where task.downloadURL is null.
The code snippet is in the Client.m file.

• (void)processingFinished:(HTTPOperation*)operation
  {
  if (operation.error != nil) {
  if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(client:didFailedWithError:)]) {
  [self.delegate client:self didFailedWithError:operation.error];
  }
  } else {
  Task* task = [[Task alloc] initWithData:operation.receivedData];

    if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(clientDidFinishProcessing:)]) {
    	[self.delegate clientDidFinishProcessing:self];
    }
    
    NSParameterAssert(task);
    NSParameterAssert(task.downloadURL);
  

Is there anything I missed? I replaced the app id and password.

I should be grateful if you could help me fix this issue as soon as possible.
Thank you for your time and help.

It is pretty cool, that abbyy provides a NodeJS library for their API and so far it also worked well for us!

We currently have issues, that the processImage task is not working for certain users and the error handling of the ocrsdk.js is a bit buggy itself, as the error message is show as [Object object].
So it is hard to debug right now, without monkey patching the library.

Probably there is a missing "toString()" after message or something?
taskDataCallback(new Error(response.error.message), null);

Here is the example from our log file:

I want to run the JS sample with node and every time I execute "node test.js" it says:

"DeprecationWarning: sys is deprecated. Use util instead.
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443"

Im sure that I entered the correct AppID and the correct password.
As url I am using http://cloud-eu.ocrsdk.com/.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

It is stated on ABBYY's website that Receipt Recognition is currenlty being beta tested for many countries, including Canada.

However, the Receipt Recognition Demo app does not allow to select Canada as the receipt country of origin.

I added "Canada" to the CountryOfOrigin enum: an error occurs "Invalid receipt country: Canada".

Could you please have a look at this?

Thank you :)

Is there going to be a swift version of sample code?

All of the provided SDKs are only capable of handling one exportFormat. But the API supports to specify up to three exportFormats. It would be nice if we also had this capability in the SDK.

I have given internet permission in manifest but still getting this issue

any suggestion pls.

Is there any solution for this ?

I am using ocr for android.
After changing application id and password i am getting the below error:
Error:/data/data/abbyy.ocrsdk.android/files/result.txt:open failed:ENOENT(No such file or directory)

I coded as follows
ocr_engine = CloudOCR(application_id='', password='')
jpg = open('pic16.JPG', 'rb')
file = {jpg.name: jpg}
result = ocr_engine.process_and_download(file, exportFormat='xml&xml:writeFormatting=true', language='English')
result

for format, content in result.items():
with open('converted.xml', 'wb') as output_file:
output_file.write(content.read())
output_file.close()

it threw the following Error:

HTTPError: 450 Client Error: Unknown format xmlwriteFormatting=true for url: http://cloud-eu.ocrsdk.com/processImage?exportFormat=xmlwriteFormatting%3Dtrue&language=English

The file i am using now consists of 5 pages , recognized_text consists of all pages now how to access only the text in 2nd page or any one of the page.

I've bridged the Objective C files with a Swift project. I was able to bridge everything correctly. However, I was having issues with executing the delegate methods in Swift. In order to invoke the delegate methods, I had to change
@property (assign) id<ClientDelegate> delegate;
to
@property (strong, nonatomic) id<ClientDelegate> delegate;
in Client.h

Before I made this change, the delegate methods weren't getting invoked in the Swift code at all.
In other words, the respondsToSelector methods always returned false.

if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(clientDidFinishUpload:)]) {
	[self.delegate clientDidFinishUpload:self];
}

I'm no expert at Objective C and I'm not entirely sure this is a defect (considering I'm bridging the Objective C source with Swift). I wanted to make sure this change was correct for my scenario.

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to transfer code from ProcessingParams to a URLViewController that I created to allow users to select different language libraries and output format through UIbuttons.

However when I created these codes into viewcontroller, it throws out error about invalid parameter of taskID. Wondering how I should change the parameters?

Hello,

My App id is 6edc25b1-9014-4e32-9eed-746d5aada041

I started a new trial this morning via the Cloud OCR SDK.

I used the code sample provided for cURL and replaced the App Id and Password to mine (in the snippet)

I cURLed : sh curl_recognize.sh "HPSCAN_101420113211.pdf" "aa_test.txt"

But no matter what i tried I kept receiving the response:

Error uploading file

Could you please advise of why am I receiving that?

Also, Is there a place where I can see the Error Logs?

Thanks,

Anthony
