Suggestions for document scanning program/workflow

I am in need of a program/workflow for scanning a variety of mixed text/image media, including books, government and financial documents, university assignments, etc., which will at minimum allow one to crop and adjust the bitonal threshold, and produce djvubind files with OCR data. I have originally used a custom bash script to implement a scanimage - GIMP - djvubind + tesseract workflow, but it was inconvenient and djvubind was buggy in integrating tesseract (despite sending a bug report that was resolved). I also tried scanimage - scantailor/scantailor-cli - djvubind + tesseract, but scantailor had editing limitations and of course the OCR bugs were still an issue. My latest approach is gscan2pdf, a program that does properly integrate with djvulibre and tesseract, but the program is very buggy and therefore painful to use on a regular basis - for example, I have to manually verify every page twice (since sometimes it does not invoke OCR on certain pages, and sometimes it does not export all pages to the djvu file).
Ideally, it would probably be possible to achieve the benefits of both automation and a plethora of editing capabilities, while reducing redundancy, by some sort of GIMP plugin/extension. Any ideas?

Hi Referee06,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I do have a few more suggestions that we can try.
If you have a firewall or anti virus protection running, try disabling them and reboot the computer. Once the computer is back on, attempt to use the Solution Center again.
If you are still having issues, try running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.
Thanks again for your time.

Any suggestions for an animation program using photographs that can be incorporated into iMovie or Final Cut express?

Any suggestions for an animation program using photographs that can be incorporated into iMovie or Final Cut express?

The MTS files will always be grayed out. Do not drill down into the folder structure. Select the top level of the AVCHD folder structure. If this is a hard drive it may take a very long time to load. People have reported 20 minutes to half an hour.
Other possible problems, conflicts with other software like Perian. Also if there is mixed media on the drive; media in different formats can make the directory unreadable. What are the exact specifications of your media? What settings are you using in FCE?

Suggestions for Prelude to FCP workflow?

We have a project with 22 hours of footage that has been brought into Prelude and logged. The media represents a variety of formats including 5D, 7D, GoPro, FS700, etc. Although originally intended for a Premiere edit, we need to now pass this project over to one of our FCP suites instead. I can't figure out any way to both export a FCP XML file AND convert all the logged media to a usable FCP format such as DVCProHD or ProRes. Any good workflow suggestions for getting all this work out of Prelude and into FCP if I didn't already convert to ProRes when we originally imported and logged the footage in Prelude?
I need something like Media Manager that would let me point to a folder, move all the selected media to that folder (while renaming the clips what they have been named in Prelude), AND convert those clips ot a new format as it copies them. I tried sending the project to Premiere and using Project Manager from there - but Project Manager appears to give me everything but an option to convert the footage into a different format when it copies it.
I feel like I'm missing something simple somewhere.
Thanks for any help.

Prelude allows you to transcode during ingest, but does not have a way to transcode clips AFTER ingest. This is a great suggestion and I have it noted from the feature request you submitted in July.
You can send all of your clips through AME to transcode them. Getting the metadata you've already created can be applied to the new transcoded clips, however it is a one-by-one operation. For original each clip choose File->Save Metadata As... to save off the XMP to a separate file. Next ingest the transcoded versions of the clips and for each you can apply the XMP metadata via the Window->Unassociated Metadata panel.

Suggestions for Document Tracking System

I have just installed sharepoint server 2013 and I wish to build a document tracking system that can do the following:
1. Keep track of memos and approvals emanating from the office of the CEO
2. It begins with a memo from a staff member to his Unit Head
3. The Unit Head approves and sends it to the CEO
4. The CEO approves and sends it Human Resources or Accounts.
5. From HR/Accounts it goes back to the Head of Unit
6. All approved memos or documents will be stored in a library for perusal by those with permissions to do so
Is there a template for doing all these in sharepoint 2013? I would deeply appreciate some suggestions on how to proceed with this assignment.
Many thanks!

You should be able to do this with the approval workflow in SharePoint. Refer to the following post for more information

Suggestion for a backup program w/ my specific setup:

I'm looking for a 3rd part program to backup an external HD (connected via FW800). Here is my situaiton:
I have an intel iMac 24 IN running Mac OS 10.6. I have hooked up an external HD via FW800 dedicated to my iTunes library. As it hovers near 300GB, I had to take it off my MacHD and put it on the external. I want to back it up for obvious reasons. I already backup my MacHD via time machine to a networked time capsule. I want to backup the External HD as well. My 2 choices for destination drives are:
1. Time Capsule connected VIA Ethernet
or
2. another Hard Disk connected to my network via Ethernet. This HD has no OS on it, and is simply used to store video files that I wish to share among my computers.
I tried Carbon Copy Cloner, and per the FAQ, it is not designed to sync to networked volumes that do not run an OS.
Please let me know if you suggest another program that can help me solve this problem.
Thank you!

If there's room on the TC's internal HD, that's the simplest solution. Just go to TM Preferences > Options, and remove the external HD from the exclusion list.
Once it's backed-up, you can, if you want, free up some space on the TC by deleting all the backups of the library when it was on your internal HD. See #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum.

Need suggestion for "hourly reservation" program

I'm using classic ASP.
I will have multiple rooms and the rooms can be reserved for various hours in the day i.e. 2:00-4:00pm and 6:00-8:00 pm.
My thought is a table with each column representing an hour, and then changing the background color if that hour is reserved. If I loop through the recordset of all reservations for that room...I guess this is where I'm stuck. What's the best way to know if 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 should be colored. I don't want to have 24 fields in a database (representing each hour). Should I loop through the recordset before each room's row is written, and maybe use an array to show which hours are reserved? I may be missing a completely easier way to do this. Any suggestions?

Need Suggestion for SRH Heidelberg program of SAP masters

HI ,
There are two SAP masters program available in the SRH Heidelberg University of Applied Science.However, the masters of computer science which has specialization in SAP costs 10,000 euros and the SAP corporate masters program costs 40,000 euros. I am planning to join the Masters of computer science program which provides internship. I have tried to find the difference between these two program. The only difference I could find was that the two certifications that are offered in SAP corporate masters program (SAP certified associate) from SAP education and TERP10 certification are not available with masters of computer science program and also there are some differences in the study model. As there is not much clarity on the differences between the two program available anywhere on internet. I would like to know if you or anyone on this network forum would be able to answer me by letting me know the difference between these programs and is the Master of computers science from this university helpful for freshers who wants to make their career in SAP.

Ashish

Training Suggestions for HD to SD workflows

I recently moved from a PowerMac G5 using an analog to digital converter to a MacPro 2x2.8 Quad Core with a Blackmagic Intensity Pro card. My current setup is mainly capturing component video/stereo audio via the breakout cable for the BlackMagic. On the G5 I was also using FCS 2, mostly dealing with fairly simple clips and editing them for output to SD DVD
I'm encountering new things like "for best performance your sequence and External Video should be set tot he format of the clips you are editing" messages. I'm sure it's just working out the proper settings, figuring how to export out my material for SD DVD, etc.
Are there any good training materials (online, books, etc) that give a comprehensive look at how to handle/configure my work flow? For now, most of my work will be output to SD DVD.
Thanks!

There's no real secret here...and nothing that requires a full manual on the matter.
Edit native HD (if HDV or DVCPRO HD or XDCAM). Export a self contained Quicktime Movie. Use Compressor to encode as an SD DVD...using the BEST QUALITY encode options.

Suggestions for Premiere DSLR -- Resolve Workflow?

Hello all -
I have edited a huge documentary on Premiere Pro, and am very happy with the whole process. This doc is going to be a really cool, well-distributed doc.
I am, however, having a very hard time trying to get my work out of Premiere into Davinci Resolve.
When I try to go via XML, I am having trouble with clips relinking to the wrong clips, because I am dealing with Canon DSLR footage which creates duplicate filenames. I understand that this could be solved by making unique reel data for each clip.
However, I can't find a place to edit reel data in Premiere. Or, if I use a batch reel# editor (like qtChange), that doesn't import into Premiere for the XML import.
Does anyone have a tried and true method for going from Premiere to Resolve, while taking into account the problems of duplicate filenames?
This seems very very very backwards for getting data into a color application to be so difficult.
Ryan

O.K Guys
I have just finished ( an hour ago) a Resolve and Flame post prod session to finish 8 TVCs .
I edited in CS6 and simply exported an edl and supplied the finishing house with the source footage.
This was conformed into Resolve and then onto Flame (as DPX) for compiling once we finished the grade / cc.
I was also dealing with duplicate filenames as well as... and I manage this by organising the source folders.
Another thing...I dual record source files. One internal is AVCHD. The external recorder is ProresHQ so I edit the AVCHD and finish with the Prores files. This means the filenames are different and need prior organising.. but...
Resolve has the facility to manage this perfectly by way of looking for the timecode instead of the filename.
(maybe your DSLR does not produce timecode so you are going to need to adapt this somehow!)

Suggestions for the interactive guide

I have been using FIOS TV service now for several months, and seen several iterations of the guide come through. I have a number of issues I would like to suggest for improvements.
First a suggestion about DVR and show recording. I have 2 DVRs, as we record a lot of TV and need the 4 tuners. I love that I can access recordings from either DVR as I want. However, it would be really great if I could just have a single schedule of shows set to record and let the two DVR's figure out what should record where based on the availability of tuners in the DVR's which would not produce conflicts.
I essentially need to put together my own matrix in order to figure out what set to record on which DVR based on when shows air. It would be great if the DVRs could talk to each other and intelligently figure out where to record.
A big issue I have encountered is that sometimes only part of a show will record. The biggest issue has been because for whatever reason, CBS's "Person of Interest" has only recorded 30 minutes of the show, and only the latter 30 minutes. There was no indication on the scheduled recordings view that the show would only partially record, it just showed that it would record. For most shows at least, they will either re-air the show, or I can get caught up on one of several streaming services. This is the only show that is not available as a re-run or on ANY streaming service.
If a show is going to only partially record, it should be clearly indicated, and it actually should just not record - it should show to me that there is an issue or conflict with another show recording into the 1st half of this show which would prevent a full recording. This is a huge bug in the recording logic that should be fixed.
From the menu guides, I would really like the option to set the default menu starting point. I do not way ANY pay preview, or pay for any on demand content. I have never done that with any TV provider I have had, and I don't plan to start now, the fact that the menu always defaults to searching on demand is annoying.
The entire menu experience feels not as if its designed to allow me to easily or quickly navigate and make the changes or selections I want, but instead it constantly wants me to basically buy a movie or TV show. There are plenty of ways to design an interface which allows you to promote your pay services and also allow me to get into the areas of the menu I need in an intuitive manner.
I do like that the DVR remembers some of my recent searches, a nice feature. It would be great for homes with multiple DVRs to allow the DVR's to act more as a "single unit" and share that information between the units so I don't have to go figuring out which DVR I previously searched for something. The search menu should also allow you to set some basic filters - when I go into search, 99% of the time I am going to search for something specific - the title of a movie or TV show. The search results should show me just that, I don't need to see actors or all the other options when I search by default - I should be able to go into advanced search to get broader or complex with what I am searching for. I should also be able to turn off searching in certain areas - like pay-per-view or on-demand options.
P.S. - the spell check component of the post message feature should really have "FIOS" and "DVR" in the dictionary.

Need a Suggestion For implementing the Digital Signature For the Documents

Hi,
Currently I am working in a Document Management System. I need a Good Suggestion for how to implement a Digital Signature For the Documents.
Thanks in Advance

Hmm, if you are not using Oracle Payroll, what are you using for payroll? I am wondering why you could not use your payroll system, whatever it is, to handle this reimbursement program.
Well, you may want to talk to Oracle support about how to handle this in Oracle iExpense. You can certainly handle advances for Expense Reports. You would then apply the advance to the expense report items. The catch is I don't think you can stop expense item entry after the adavance is satisfied. You would have to set up a work flow process of some kind to have the expense reports reviewed and only approve expenses that are applied to the advance, is what I am thinking. Not your ideal solution, but something to think about. It could be the Oracle folks might know of a sneaky way to handle this. What you are trying to do is unusual. Employee advances are common, but the idea of not being able to exceed the advance amount is what unusual about this. Normally you will accept any expenses over the advance amount and reimburse the employee for those extra amounts not advanced.
Good luck.

How can I search for document content, specific words, in my scanned (and searchable) pdf files?

When using spotloght to search my files for text within a scanned document, I may or may not find documents that were scanned by a scan program (ScanSnap) to a searchable PDF file on a firewire attached drive.
Is there a specific manner that yeilds useable results 100% of the time?

Spotlight should index PDF files (as well as Word and some other kinds of files) but it seems that PDFs are not created equal. I've seen and heard complaints that some scanner/OCR programs are saving files that aren't searchable and yours is one of them. Try opening one of the files in Preview and resaving it.
