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.
