Scanbot
Idea and concept
- based on the idea of how knowledge is built
- make the person scanning aware of what she / he is doing
- scanning as a performance
- the chatbot is an interface to the scanner
- it comments on the scanned content and also intervenes into the process (refuses to scan)
Why it failed (for now)
- PiScan too timeconsuming to understand / modify
- Pi to slow for tesseracting live
- no automatic rotation and border-removal for now
- found this nice summary of software to auto-postprocess images: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/ImproveQuality
