Mastering the Art of Creating the Perfect and Popular Image Hack

Introduction:In today’s digital age, visuals are everything. They capture attention, convey messages quickly, and are easily shared. But not all images are created equal. The ones that go viral or become widely popular are often the result of a carefully crafted process known as an image hack. In this guide, we’ll explore how to create the perfect and popular image hack that not only stands out…

[laurentidal]

Hey Lauren! Do you have a schedule and/or process? You have stories lined up weeks in advance, while I'm struggling to figure out what I'm doing Tuesday. What's your secret?

I'm so happy you asked as it gives me a chance to talk about my favorite piece of software in existence, Obsidian.md. I apologize because where some people probably just have a "I'll post this today" mentality, I am mentally ill and need to build complex systems to keep my brain in check.

Obsidian is how I organize absolutely everything in my life, including my bills, my law school notes, and of course my stories and publishing schedule. I don't mind giving you a little peak behind the curtain of my absolute organizational mania (nor do I mind giving everyone a tiny preview of the things in the hopper).

I have a second blog where I keep all the images that I like that I might one day incorporate into a story, tagged to high-heaven so I can find the thing I'm looking for easily (say, topless and outside). Then once it's ready to work on, I save it to my Obsidian vault.

This is what my workspace looks like where I'm writing:

I typically start with a picture and let the story grow out of it. It's much harder to match a picture to a story that's already grown. Thus the in-depth tagging in my storage blog. I rarely edit, which I KNOW is a bad habit, but it's not one I really intend to work on. I fix typos when I see them though. (Or when people point them out to me.)

All the data about a story is logged in the front matter so it can be analyzed by the vault. Then, based on the Status, and the Publication Date, it's put into the scheduler that's run by an Obsidian plugin called Dataview, which has changed my life (not an exaggeration):

Blue is for anything already out. Green is for stuff finished and in the queue to be published. Yellow is stuff that's done but not scheduled yet. Orange is stuff I've started but am not happy with. Red is stuff that has a title and a picture and nothing else. (Black is stuff Tumblr hid. Sad.) There's also White, which is for copies of my old stories that I've managed to recover from other people's blogs.

The other columns are the Original Publication Date, the Notes (last I checked) and the Rebloggability (calculated by how many times I've reblogged it already and how long it's been since that happened). And there's a special area for the multi-post stories.

I also use Google Calendar:

More color coding. Green for reblogs. Yellow for new posts. Orange for reposts of stories that were on my old blog. Blue for chapters. And Grey for Special.

That's it as far as my process. But if you remember all that frontmatter on the story... Obsidian, Dataview, and another plugin called Charts can team up and give me some dazzling data analysis.

There's about thirty graphs on my Analysis page, so I won't share all of them, but here's what you freaks are into:

I also have some compelling data that you all have short attention spans:

Because that's the most goddamn perfect reverse exponential function I've ever seen, and also the reason I posted zero long story updated in January.

So that's THE PROCESS and by way thereof, THE VAULT. Hope you enjoyed this deep dive into my particular brand of bullshit. I know here in this corner of the world we like spirals, but to me, the sexiest shape is a little box with a little piece of data in it.

Blog Moderation FAQs

Hi everyone!

Every time we answer an ask about the queue/inbox situation we get several of the same suggestions in our inbox. While we truly appreciate those of you trying to be helpful, I wanted to take some time to address some of the suggestions and the reasons behind our position on said suggestions.

Have you considered closing the ask box for a while until you work through what you have?

No. With as many asks as there are in the box, it would result in the ask box being closed for quite some time, which we don't think is really what anyone wants!

Closing the box would allow for us to "catch up", but it also would mean potential dry periods of content.

Keeping the ask box open means we need to scroll forever to reach the old asks, but it also means that we are set to deliver consistent content for a while, and are never at risk for an empty queue when the inevitable drop in fandom interest hits.

Why don't you post more frequently?

Actually, we do! We've exploded recently, so many of you may not remember ye olden days of our blog's founder doing their best as a one person show and we got one post a day... ish. Then, when the ask box exploded to 100 asks (haha) they brought in the first round of new mods (including me!). During this time, we were able to build a solid queue. We were then able to post 5-6 times a day.

With a healthy queue and a healthy ask box, we were able to bump the post frequency to 12 times a day. Most of the first wave of mods worked through some asks and then largely went inactive. This is fine, it happens. After struggling to keep up a frequency of 12/day as a one person show once again, we recruited new mods with some activity guidelines.

To maintain a posting frequency of 12 times a day, each mod needs to add 3 posts to the queue a day, or 21 posts to the queue a week. We ask that every mod contributes 30 times a week, that way we have a healthy buffer of content for holidays, emergencies, and just general time away from the internet.

While the confessions are sent in by y'all and editing them in photoshop is a generally simple process, it still does take time. Time in the game to find and take the screenshots, time in the editing software to create the image, then posting and tagging appropriately. Those cursed edits y'all love so much take even more time.

We're all adults here. And your mods are too. They have lives off of tumblr, often complete with bills and day jobs. Honestly, less fun than the little horny blog, but *vague gestures towards capitalist hellscape*

For these reasons, posting 12 times a day is going to be a hard cap for the foreseeable future. In the most loving way possible: If you are submitting an ask now and expecting to see it a week or even a month from now, you are going to be sorely disappointed. Submit your ask and know that it will be appreciated by the community when its time comes.

"A confession is never late, nor is it early. A confession arrives precisely when it means to." - Elminster (probably)

Why don't you just get more mods?

Have you heard the phrase "too many cooks in the kitchen"? Every person added to a process adds another variable, and the more variables, the harder it is to deliver a consistent experience. Additionally, the goal is to find people who can stay pretty consistently active, which can be a hard ask for a lot of people. We're very grateful for the team that we have now, and we aren't seeking new mods at this time.

Why don't you post more confessions about (character/female/etc)?

We are a submissions blog. We work with the content we are given. You need to be the horny you wish to see in the world. I know in general there's a lack of confessions for female characters, and there's an analysis to be made about how different gender/sexual identities interact with fandom and how that affects the content available in communities for consumption, but I'm not the person to make it.

Thank you all for continuing to be amazing, it is truly an honor to serve 🫡

i think it’s really really important that we keep reminding people that what we’re calling ai isn’t even close to intelligent and that its name is pure marketing. the silicon valley tech bros and hollywood executives call it ai because they either want it to seem all-powerful or they believe it is and use that to justify their use of it to exploit and replace people.

chat-gpt and things along those lines are not intelligent, they are predictive text generators that simply have more data to draw on than previous ones like, you know, your phone’s autocorrect. they are designed to pass the turing test by having human-passing speech patterns and syntax. they cannot come up with anything new, because they are machines programmed on data sets. they can’t even distinguish fact from fiction, because all they are actually capable of is figuring out how to construct a human-sounding response using applicable data to a question asked by a human. you know how people who use chat-gpt to cheat on essays will ask it for reference lists and get a list of texts that don’t exist? it’s because all chat-gpt is doing is figuring out what types of words typically appear in response to questions like that, and then stringing them together.

midjourney and things along those lines are not intelligent, they are image generators that have just been really heavily fine-tuned. you know how they used to do janky fingers and teeth and then they overcame that pretty quickly? that’s not because of growing intelligence, it’s because even more photographs got added to their data sets and were programmed in such a way that they were able to more accurately identify patterns in the average amount of fingers and teeth across all those photos. and it too isn’t capable of creation. it is placing pixels in spots to create an amalgamation of images tagged with metadata that matches the words in your request. you ask for a tree and it spits out something a little quirky? it’s not because it’s creating something, it’s because it gathered all of its data on trees and then averaged it out. you know that “the rest of the mona lisa” tweet and how it looks like shit? the fact that there is no “rest” of the mona lisa aside, it’s because the generator does not have the intelligence required to identify what’s what in the background of such a painting and extend it with any degree of accuracy, it looked at the colours and approximate shapes and went “oho i know what this is maybe” and spat out an ugly landscape that doesn’t actually make any kind of physical or compositional sense, because it isn’t intelligent.

and all those ai-generated voices? also not intelligent, literally just the same vocal synth we’ve been able to do since daisy bell but more advanced. you get a sample of a voice, break it down into the various vowel and consonant sounds, and then when you type in the text you want it to say, it plays those vowel and consonant sounds in the order displayed in that text. the only difference now is that the breaking it down process can be automated to some extent (still not intelligence, just data analysis) and the synthesising software can recognise grammar a bit more and add appropriate inflections to synthesised voices to create a more natural flow.

if you took the exact same technology that powers midjourney or chat-gpt and removed a chunk of its dataset, the stuff it produces would noticeably worsen because it only works with a very very large amount of data. these programs are not intelligent. they are programs that analyse and store data and then string it together upon request. and if you want evidence that the term ai is just being used for marketing, look at the sheer amount of software that’s added “ai tools” that are either just things that already existed within the software, using the same exact tech they always did but slightly refined (a lot of film editing software are renaming things like their chromakey tools to have “ai” in the name, for example) or are actually worse than the things they’re overhauling (like the grammar editor in office 365 compared to the classic office spellcheck).

but you wanna real nifty lil secret about the way “ai” is developing? it’s all neural nets and machine learning, and the thing about neural nets and machine learning is that in order to continue growing in power it needs new data. so yeah, currently, as more and more data gets added to them, they seem to be evolving really quickly. but at some point soon after we run out of data to add to them because people decided they were complete or because corporations replaced all new things with generated bullshit, they’re going to stop evolving and start getting really, really, REALLY repetitive. because machine learning isn’t intelligent or capable of being inspired to create new things independently. no, it’s actually self-reinforcing. it gets caught in loops. "ai” isn’t the future of art, it’s a data analysis machine that’ll start sounding even more like a broken record than it already does the moment its data sets stop having really large amounts of unique things added to it.

👨🏻‍🔬 Carmen "Chico" Guerra's Elevator Eyes, a Totally Scientific Analysis

Introduction

Oz, created by Tom Fontana and produced for HBO in 1997-2003, is a first of its kind TV program in many ways. While much focus over the years has rightly been given to the show's melodramatic "realism" in depicting prison life, its unapologetic handling of controversial subject matter, and its innovative approach to dramatic storytelling, little attention has been paid to the fucking insane way the character Carmen "Chico" Guerra acts every time he is in Miguel Alvarez's vicinity.

In this study, I examine part of this behavior, the observed tendency of Guerra to direct intense visual exploration at Alvarez's person, an act colloquially known as "elevator eyes". Using a scene from Oz season 5 episode 8 for the basis of this initial study, I clutch my head and ask, not for the first time, "hey, what the fuck? Is anybody else seeing this??"

Method

Using video editing software, I isolated the 4:14 second clip from Oz episode 5x08 in which character Guerra can be heard uttering the words "Oh, you're so fucking beautiful when you're angry". Using frame-by-frame scrubbing, each of the 110 frames contained therein were captured and visually analysed using the bare eye to discern the direction of Guerra's eye movement. Because Guerra's eye movements were fluid and roaming, only the extreme end of each direction of eyeline was counted. In total, 10 frames were selected from various points in the clip to represent the extreme ends of each moment Guerra's attention shifted in a different direction.

2 of the 10 images were further examined by the bare eye and were concluded to be transitional eye movements and thus discarded.

(Figure 1): 8 images depicting the changes in Carmen "Chico" Guerra's eye line.

Results

In total, 8 distinct eye directions were produced using the method described above (Figure 1). From these results, Guerra doing the Most™ has been confirmed. As if there was any doubt.

Discussion

What exactly is Guerra looking at? Alvarez's lips? His scar? His nose? His ear? Scrutinising each moment individually, I hypothesise that Guerra is observing Alvarez's general profile (1, 3, 7), his scar (2), the stiff collar of his suit (4), the expression in his eyes (5), and his lips (6, 8), however more study is needed in his area.

Research on Guerra's elevator eye tendencies can be broadened with analysis of other interactions, including scenes such as from episodes 2x04, 2x07, 2x08, 6x01, 6x02, 6x06, and 6x08.

Further study is also needed to understand why Guerra brings a horny energy to all of his antagonistic interactions with Miguel Alvarez compared to others. Suggested areas of study include episodes 2x07, 2x08, 3x04, 3x08, 5x02, and 5x03, with focus on vocal delivery (including pitch, timber, volume), word choice, and body language.

Conclusion

I love inventing new useless ways to spend my time. Also Guerra has a big boner for Alvarez.

YouTube and Stuff by u/SecondhandCoke

YouTube and Stuff First, I'm trying to get my YouTube channel up in the next couple of weeks... just for those who care. If you have naming suggestions, I'm all ears. If there are things you like to regularly hear from me, let me know. I know y'all want "tea" when I've got it, and I will provide that from time to time, when appropriate. I plan to do a lot of debunking using the logical fallacies and an insider's look at PR strategies. I plan to do a lot of Markle Snarkle, but if you've enjoyed things I've done in the past like the Handwriting Analysis, I can do that once a week, I can do tarot spreads (for fun only, ovbs), I can critique in a constructive and friendly way other content creator's assertions (if y'all ask and direct my attention to it). Also, thanks to TRG for ALREADY giving me a lot of great advice. I also need advice on the easiest way to manage graphics, editing, etc. I'd LOVE to be able to animate my little Secondhand Coke avatar to say what I'm voicing over, but don't know how. Music is set. I'm a musician, and I've gotten my little instrumental zinger almost read to go... I really just have to figure out how to edit it together. Like using a macbook pro or iphone. Any helpful hints would be appreciated. Inexpensive or free editing software recs, places where I can get images and video that are free, even other music blurbs... I can use all the help I can get. Anyway, re: Prince Harry, the impression I am getting is that the people around Harry want to be worthy of Harry's trust. They won't leak his location, but if I'm reading between the lines accurately, he reportedly gave Meghan a fake locale that only she had, and she leaked it. So I think the scales continue to fall from his eyes. It's been weeks since we've seen Harry, at least 21 days since we've gotten a verified location. (I think). I get the feeling the people around him are looking after his best interests while he focuses on getting himself together. That's just my read based on what little bit of info I could get. But for those of you who've encouraged me to do a channel in the past, I'm pretty much ready to get her going and would love your advice and input. post link: https://ift.tt/x3bpoes author: SecondhandCoke submitted: October 21, 2024 at 05:25PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

NEW VIDEO. YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS.

It's less an analysis and more just. Me screaming. Spoilers for WTDW Intermission under the cut!

Why is Wiatt being more sensible about watching the video than Damien. But also. How have they not figured out anyone's identities yet-

CARLY!!!!!!! I am very normal about her I swear /lying

He fucking hates his life.

I forgot why I thought this was important before I remembered her face and- I'm sorry I just think she's neat-

XAVIER WHY ARE YOU HERE. WHY ARE YOU CRYPTIC. WHY SIR. WHY.

"Who taught you that word?!" Xavier she's 13 calm down.

this image is so pretty!!!! The whole vibes of this scene are just great tbh

Sir. Sir how long have you been there-

One, the colors in this scene are great

Two, emergency plan for if we need to switch between Eric and Ribbon immediately/j

This whole sequence is <3

NOT THE FUCKING LADYBUG-

...

AUGH-

Carly. Carly I love you. BUT NO.

...drama queen-

She does not believe him for one second but is to tired to care rn.

GOD DAMIT SARA

I took a video of me messing in my editing software but it won't work :(

DON'T YOU GIVE ME THAT FUCKING LOOK MISTER-

Yeah. Yeah fair.

Can you stop fighting for one FUCKING SECOND-

Oliver's looking better at least, but where should they look. Don't fucking cut him off WHERE-

This scene. All of it. Amazing.

Last Monday of the Week 2024-03-25

Can't tell if this is allergies or if I'm sick because spring is in the air

Listening: I have been listening to The Layover podcast, the behind the scenes podcast for Jet Lag The Game. I only got into Jet Lag pretty recently because I had Nebula anyway and saw it come up. Great show, both because the premise is great (carefully designed games incorporating travel on the scale of countries) and because they can actually edit this incredibly difficult pile of footage into something readable.

The Behind The Scenes is an interesting mix of talk about the on-the-ground situation of playing the game and the filmmaking that goes on after the fact, there's some cool insight into how and why they edit the way they do and it shows why it works so well.

I think you have to have Nebula to listen to the podcast? It does just spit out an RSS feed if you ask nicely though. Thank you podcasts.

Watching: Actually watched The Gay And Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo, the video series that launched like two dozen reaction images.

It's funny, it's a well put together indie comedy series. You've probably seen most of the really standout bits already even if you don't know it already but it is worth watching as a time capsule of web comedy, it's less than two hours long all told.

Reading: Started Glory In The Thunder by 0xabad1dea. I don't know what her real name is. I've had GITT in my ebooks library forever, 0xabad1dea is the main reason I got on twitter back in like 2016 (her and a couple other software blogs) and is why my Fediverse feed is still like a quarter security researchers by weight. She's probably one of the most well known static analysis researchers in the world.

Anyway Glory In The Thunder is a gaslamp-ish fantasy, although leaning very fantasy on the gaslamps. Very teenage characters which is whiplash but only because it's been a moment. Lots of very loud characters who announce themselves and their intentions, some fun seven dimensional politics going on, and a lot of jumping back and forth in the histories of the various gods who are constantly hanging around in the plot.

I think @shieldfoss has bugged me to read this before so you'll be glad to know that I am now.

I like this, I'm about halfway through. It's easy to keep track of despite having enough fantasy names to choke a horse, although I should really stop worrying about that, I've read the Shadowdance series you really have to try to beat that one. It's also a free book, you can get it at @gloryinthethunder.

Playing: Got a VR headset. Fidgeting with said headset. Figured out how to do wireless linked VR from Linux and Windows which is good, I should have all the kinks worked out, I'll have to see how I square the onboard capabilities of the Quest 2 with having a PC and fast WiFi.

Making: Finally run through enough smaller prints on the new hotend to feel confident running off the final endcap, so that's done. The parts of the 3D printed NAS case are complete, and I have started my first pass sanding which is going to take a while because PETG is very slippery. Once that's sanded I'll take it in to the shared workshop and run through some primer layers and some paint.

Tools and Equipment: Flat network cable is a godsend if you're running it in open air in a house. Absolutely useless for pulling through walls or running in conduit, and completely bereft of shielding, but having a flat cord that can press up against frames and sideboards really does make it all neater. I ran flat cat6 for all of this.

The image was the first official photograph released following the princess' abdominal surgery in January and was circulated by major news and photography agencies.

However, four of the largest agencies issued a "kill notice" for the image, asking those who were using it to remove it.

AP reported the reason for the image recall was: "It appears that the source [Kensington Palace] has manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP’s photo standards."

"The photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand," AP stated.

Reuters later reported it had removed the photo for similar reasons to AP. 

"Reuters picture editors said part of the sleeve of Kate's daughter's cardigan did not line up properly, suggesting that the image had been altered," it said.

"Reuters could not immediately establish how, why or by whom the alteration had been made.

"Leading picture agencies distributing news photographs prohibit the publication of images that have been overly edited."

The Reuters Handbook of Journalism states that Photoshop can only be used in limited matters like formatting, cropping, sizing and balancing tone and colour.

"Materially altering a picture in Photoshop or any other image editing software will lead to dismissal," it says. 

AFP and Getty Images also issued their own notices and removed the image from their sites.

The photo is still up on the Princess' social media accounts.

Dr TJ Thomson, senior lecturer in visual communication and digital media at RMIT, says the image shows clear evidence of manipulation.

"The most obvious example is around Princess Charlotte’s left sleeve cuff. The left side of Princess Kate’s hair and her right hand also appear to be unnaturally blurred," he says.

Dr Thomson also ran the image through a forensic analysis software called WeVerify.

"That suggests that in addition to the cuff area on Princess Charlotte, the branches in the top-right corner of the image were also manipulated."

What is Nudify online AI and how does it work?

As if there wasn't enough in this world of artificial intelligence and image editing, one term which is trending these days for everyone is Nudify AI. Sometimes called Nudify online, this technology is creating an uproar because it offers unique features to its users for changing and editing pictures. But what exactly is Nudify AI? How is Nudify AI reshaping the boundaries of AI-assisted edits?

What is Nudify AI?

Nudify AI is a generation of online image editing software which utilizes advanced algorithms in artificial intelligence for the alteration of images, especially trying to "undress" or reveal parts of the photos. The tools used with Nudify apply deep learning technology to the analysis and modification of images that can be done in ways through which realistic alterations can be achieved. Though the term may seem like some kind of bleeding-edge concept, it is, in reality, a form of deepfake technology repurposed for broader applications beyond entertainment or art. Most of these are fun or quirky edits, and one can find even such experiments on AI boundaries in platforms like Undress Baby.

How Does Nudify AI Work?

Nudify AI is based on deep learning models, with primary usage of convolutional neural networks and generative adversarial networks. Generally speaking, it can be explained this way:

Image Processing The AI system first analyzes the structure, textures, and key features of an image. It uses a massive database of images and object recognition to learn about different elements of the human form and surrounding environments.

Generative Changing: From its actual view of the patterns and textures, the AI comes up with layers to be imposed on the image that make it nudified. It relies on complex algorithms called image-related ones to generate realistic effects from the given image.

Real-Time Processing: Most sites offering Nudify services work in real time. This way, the user will get the changes in the image instantly; therefore, he or she can easily try several effects and choose the most attractive output for his needs.

User Interface: These tools give a user interface where users upload images and pick from ready-to-use styles, effects, and levels.

Practical Applications of Nudify AI

Although Nudify online AI is to some extent controversial, it has seen practical applications that go way beyond mere image transformation. Here are some applications:

Creative Expression: The creative mind is continually seeking more and larger means through which to express itself. For artists and creators, tools like Nudify AI represent a novel scope of experimentation-first, exploring vulnerability, body positivity, and perhaps even the human body.

Photo Editing and Enhancement Some of the Nudify online tools are applied in the traditional photo editing application, where selective nudification may be used for correction of exposure, a change in background or selective blurring. For instance, photographers may want to preview the edits or changes applied to specific areas of an image.

Education and Medical Training: In healthcare, these AI applications may one day be used for training, as it would offer real-life simulations to medical practitioners. The use case, though more prospective, is still in its nascent stage and needs further refinement.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Nudify AI

Benefits:

New Creative Expression: Nudify AI offers its users an expression of creativity that most are not adapted to.

User-Friendly Interface: Most Nudify online websites are user-friendly; therefore, they are very accessible for anyone to use from a complete newbie to a professional editor.

Fast Processing Time: As Nudify AI is an online tool, it generally has a fast image processing time compared to on-time usage.

Where to Find Nudify AI Tools

There are several sites where Nudify can be accessed online. One such site is Undress Baby that offers a very playful interface friendly enough to try nudify options free and safely. Mostly the interfaces are either free or charge up for premium additional features for complex edits.

Conclusion: The Future of Nudify AI and Image Editing

Nudify online AI is one of those exciting futures, an element that will go further in images and applications of deep learning beyond how we go about photos. Sure enough, with advancement in technology, more refined uses and ethical questions will surround tools like Nudify AI. Actually, even though such tools have incredible potential for creativity and experimentation, their users must handle it responsibly and keeping respect to privacy.

📖TIPS: Focus stacking

Hello, community! It's time for the last part of this month's tips. As you know, we invited @jbarchietto to be our guest tips mod for September. He is showing us how to stack pictures using the focus stacking technique.

"Finally, one last example to show that this technique also works in the Studio. I've set the scene again in depth with the sailboat, which is quite long. My camera doesn't allow me to obtain a depth of field large enough to contain everything. In addition, there are 2 floors separated by glass to show above and below the sea at the same time. The bottom elements are set back from the boat.

I proceeded in the same way as for the caravan of forestmen, varying the focus over the whole scene. Again, I took 10 images to cover the whole field and edited the stack in Helicon Focus. The video shows the software's analysis of the images and its ability to detect sharp areas and place different layers of depth in 3D."

The algorithm will isolate the sharp areas of each image to recompose an entirely sharp image. And then, the final picture is processed. I’m working with raw files, so I can edit the final picture just as a regular shot to enhance colors or add details."

Thank you for accepting our invitation and being our Guest Tips Mod, @jbarchietto !

What are the 5 types of computer applications? - Lode Emmanuel Pale

Computer applications, also known as software or programs, serve various purposes and can be categorized into different types based on their functions and usage. Here are five common types of computer applications explained by Lode Emmanuel Pale:

Word Processing Software: Word processors are used for creating, editing, and formatting text documents. They include features for text formatting, spell checking, and sometimes even collaborative editing. Microsoft Word and Google Docs are popular examples.

Spreadsheet Software: Spreadsheet applications are used for managing and analyzing data in tabular form. They are commonly used for tasks like budgeting, financial analysis, and data visualization. Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets are well-known spreadsheet programs.

Presentation Software: Presentation software is used to create and deliver slideshows or presentations. These applications allow users to design visually appealing slides, add multimedia elements, and deliver presentations effectively. Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides are widely used for this purpose.

Database Software: Database applications are designed for storing, managing, and retrieving data efficiently. They are commonly used in businesses and organizations to store and manipulate large volumes of structured data. Examples include Microsoft Access, MySQL, and Oracle Database.

Graphics and Design Software: Graphics and design applications are used for creating visual content, such as images, illustrations, and multimedia presentations. These tools are essential for graphic designers, artists, and multimedia professionals. Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and CorelDRAW are popular graphic design software options.

These are just five broad categories of computer applications, and there are many more specialized software programs available for various purposes, such as video editing, 3D modeling, web development, and more. The choice of software depends on the specific needs and tasks of the user or organization.

Intelligent OCR technology—a step ahead of traditional OCR

Businesses today are looking for ways to streamline their operations, be it by enhancing production workflows or managing and analyzing business documents. Intelligent OCR technology emerged as a game changer in automating business document management. The technology is streamlining the way the business extracts, manages, and processes the data.

Intelligent OCR software.

Intelligent OCR software is an advanced version of traditional OCR technology. The technology converts different types of documents into editable and searchable data. It incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to enhance the accuracy of document conversion.

Features of intelligent OCR software.

Data Validation: The technology assures the accuracy of the data.

Contextual Understanding: Interprets the context of the data to enhance accuracy.

Multi-language Support: Able to recognize and process text in different languages.

System Integration: Seamlessly integrates with other business applications and workflows.

How does intelligent OCR software work?

The intelligent OCR software uses AI and machine learning technologies to digitize documents and extract data from them. It supports different types of documents, from images to other types of documents, and  extract data with high accuracy. Understanding the process by which the technology operates helps the business utilize it to its full potential.

Image acquisition :

The intelligent OCR software first captures the digital image of the document through a physical document or a scanned copy. The image is then converted into two colors, black and white, for further processing.

pre-processing :

The OCR software takes the digital image through pre-processing to enable data extraction with high accuracy. The process includes correcting alignment issues, identifying any handwritten text, and removing background graphics or lines.

Text recognition :

The core process of text recognition from the image is initiated at the juncture. Intelligent OCR software recognizes the text by analyzing patterns and using feature extraction algorithms. The iOCR software reads individual characters, words, and text blocks within the image.

Layout analysis :

The software features sophisticated programs to analyze the structure and layout of the document and categorize it into different elements like tables, images, and paragraphs to enhance and improve the accuracy of the text extraction.

Postprocessing :

The recognized text is formatted and produced into digital and searchable formats like Word documents and PDFs for easy comparison and effective document management.

Intelligent capabilities :

The advanced capabilities of intelligent OCR software empowered by artificial intelligence rush beyond basic character recognition in documents. The machine learning and NLP technologies in the OCR software help in understanding the context of text, enabling more document understanding and processing capabilities.

 Differences between OCR and iOCR.

 Text recognition :

OCR is just capable of recognizing text, from plain documents and converts it to digital text. Still, the intelligent OCR software is capable of recognizing various styles of handwriting and

fonts and extracts data from different types of documents. The technology is capable of distinguishing handwritten characters and separating them into separate boxes to extract them individually.

Accuracy :

Traditional OCR technology is designed to read plain text and fonts and digitalize them. There is room for inaccuracies. Intelligent OCR software understands the context and analyzes human intent, like reading complex handwriting styles to improve accuracy.

Technology :

OCR is a general technology designed to extract text from the images of physical documents. They enable the conversion of scanned or photographed text into digital formats. Intelligent OCR software, on the contrary, leverages ML technology to enhance accuracy and automate the processing of complex documents, which we traditional OCR struggle with.  

Flexibility :

Traditional OCR technology has fixed templates to extract the data and tends to face complexity with various document types and layouts. Intelligent OCR technology, on the other hand, can adapt easily to different types of documents and layouts.

Applications of intelligent OCR technology :

Business automation

 The intelligent OCR software saves a great deal of time when integrated into business workflows. They can effectively streamline huge document management and witness improved performance in retrieving desired documents from the database.

Accessibility for visually impaired users

Intelligent OCR technology employs adaptive technology to recognize text and convert it into digital formats to help visually impaired users access digital content easily.

Education

The intelligent OCR technology is able to create a great learning environment for the students. The technology converts both physical and handwritten text into digital documents, streamlining the process of studying and taking notes. The advanced technology helps the students access their study materials in different formats.

Conclusion.

With continuous advancements in AI and machine learning technology, the future of intelligent OCR software is great. It plays a key role in automating documentation. By investing in intelligent OCR technology, you can unlock the full potential of data and drive business growth.
