ScioTR Available Now in the Win8 Store!

What would it take to "Go Paperless?"

Do you have labels or small forms from which you need to get structured data - in an excel spreadsheet or CSV file?

ScioTR is a new touch-enabled Windows 8 app which integrates Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Consensus Strategy, and Machine Learning (ML) to provide an efficient workflow for digitizing images into custom data fields.

Download and Try it FREE from the Windows 8 Store!

Here is our latest walk through video showing a number of the app's features including how images are organized and how data is extracted from the images:

Calling all label images in need of digitization!

Last summer, we presented a talk and demonstration of ScioTR, a new Windows 8 app for digitizing images of documents (specifically images of natural history collections labels), at the SPNHC conference in Rapid City, South Dakota. You can watch a video very similar to the content presented in South Dakota on our YouTube channel. For a description of the data entry workflow in ScioTR, visit ScioTR.com.

I would like to take this opportunity to solicit images of collections labels for testing purposes during our final development cycle. We are looking for various types of labels, from various disciplines, including those that are handwritten, typewritten in different fonts, not straight, dirty, etc. Of course, in return, you will receive an excel spreadsheet of the records in the format of your choice, complete with GUIDs. Here are the only requirements:

1. Please limit the number of labels to the equivalent of no more than 200 specimens (some specimens may have more than one label/image). 
2. Include a field list (or we can send the data back to you in Darwin Core)
3. Images should have a resolution of 72 dpi or greater
