What is the best way and cheapest way to do OCR in the cloud?
I am also looking for an answer to your question also. I was talking to some developers recently who highly rated Abbyy Cloud OCR SDK for accuracy but at a high price ( Plans and Pricing ) You can do a limited try out yourself for free as a developer. The cost kicks in when you go into production mode - unless you are a student and you might qualify for Free OCR SDK for Students . Abbyypetition is OmniPage but they doesn't seem to offer a Cloud SDK only a native app API ( OmniPage CSDK | OCR Document Capture SDK | OCR for Developers | Nuance ) - but i've reached out to them to confirm. You can try out their SDK at Wee to OmniPage Cloud Service Portal! s . I also came across this review from last year - The Best Online OCR Software for Converting Images to Text and it looks like the answer might be OnlineOCR - SOAP and REST Cloud API . The 3-day free trial allows for 25 items a day for free. It's not clear who is behind the service however so i wouldn't send any sensitive documents to it. Update There is an Abbyy subscription package available on Azure that gives you 1 pages a month for free - ABBYY Cloud OCR SDK Service on Microsoft Azure Marketplace s .
Why is search so bad in Google Drive?
1) Indeed time is needed for indexing recent files. 2) My best guess is because depending on the moment you are using it Google Drive displays results not only from one but several google drive servers. So you should try to wait a little (so that servers that have all your recent data are available) and open Google Drive again from scratch and it should find the file. Misc. notes - It will find only the first 1 pages for non-OCRed PDF files and the first 1 pages for OCRed PDF file. - If you have very big OCRed PDF file for instance 5 pages long the only way to search inside it is to preview it inside Google Drive wait that the file is loaded and then you can do a CTRL+F in it to bypass the 1 pages limit ! - Probably some similar limits exist for big files (= your old presentations ??) more or close to Million characters. Files you can store in Google Drive s About Optical Character Recognition in Google Drive s horizontal-rule Another factor that could count IMHO is the total number of files that you have into Google Drive. For instance I know I have more than 2 files into my Google Drive currently. I know that because I use syncdocs (I rmend this software for avoiding duplicate created by the default Google Drive uploader) and look into their log file. My guess is the more you have files the more Google Drive uses different servers. The problem is that Google Drive is not very transparent about this. You can try to confirm this guess by using a freeware like snooper2 for instance. The problem is that even if you can confirm this it won't solve your problem for sure ! ;(
Which is the better of the three, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive?
It depends on your use case. I've used all three on different occasions. I often find myself using Google drive when having to review spreadsheets or documents within a business where we would feed data and it would create graphs on the fly and live while showing them on a web browser. And a convinient way to forget about s videos and sound easily surpassing 2 megs per video etc and you forget to pause sync and autos ave office and OneDrive wants to sync up everything all the time eating up you upload bands and at times crashing PowerPoint. All services are good it just depends on the use case. I find OneDrive is more of a nas like feature intended for one user per account and an easy sharing feature amongst accounts. With a work from anywhere feature as long as you have internet access. Google drive tries topete in the office part with OneDrive but it's best feature is sharing documents via browser without needing to be logged into a Google account. Dropbox strongest feature is Lan sync and a great backup provider. So depending on your flavor and budget I'd go with either Google drive or OneDrive as a main provider because of their productivity software integration and drop box as a backup. Edit At a time I had the Dropbox folder within the OneDrive folder and it would backup to both services at the same time.
What's the best way to create online, long-term personal storage that is relatively secure, accessible, and searchable (full-text & OCR)?
You have two possible paths use an existing service or build your own. Building your own will require substantial technical knowledge and ability to program. You will need to acquire raw storage allow for uploads and downloads build indexing for search run documents through an OCR (either reusing one or building your own) login users verifying they can see write documents Just to put things in perspectivepanies like Microsoft Google or Dropbox have a little army of engineers solving these. That being said with the right skills and a bit of time in your hands this is possible. Another option is to use an existing service. Among the providers I am aware of these offer full search Google Drive Microsoft OneDrive Dropbox (business accounts) and Box. There could be others I am not aware of. I do not know for sure if Google Drive Dropbox or Box offer OCR capabilities but it is likely they do. I know OneDrive recently started integrating with Office Lens a service which provides OCR capabilities among other things. I have not used this capability enough toment on it.

How private are cloud storage solutions like Dropbox and Google Drive?
Depends what you mean by private. Once you upload your files to Dropbox SkyDrive Google Drive they process your files extract the metadata such as file name file file date OCR etc. and maintain them as index in their database. That's how you are able to explore and search your files in their web application. Google Drive goes even further and utilizes that metadata to target personalized ads to you. So while these providers take a lot of security precaution that your content doesn't get public internally do they have access to it. However at goodpanies like Google Dropbox Microsoft etc. there are very strict policies against developers to access a customer's data and usually it's logged. Bottom-line is that to take advantage of the cloud you have to give up a certain amount of privacy. If you are truly particular about privacy then your best bet is to encrypt all your files in an external hard drive and keep your private key in a separate location. That way no one can read your files except you.
What are some websitesapps to enhance productivity and skill sets?
1. SugarSync Official SugarSync s Available for Windows Mac iOS Android BlackBerry Windows Mobile. SugarSync was released as apetitor to Dropbox which still is the most well-known solution for online data backup and synchronization. But as it turns out SugarSync does stand apart in this niche by providing some great features. First of all SugarSync apps are real italic . This means that each app allows you to do any standard operation on your files and not just view them like in some Dropbox apps. Secondly you can synchronize any folder on yourputer not just one and you can even synchronize stuff selectively. For example some folders can be synchronized on both your desktop and your laptop while others can stay laptop-exclusive. Thirdly it just as automatic and hands-free as Dropbox so you don even notice it working in the background. 2. Mailbox Official Mailbox Mailbox an app with very basic sounding name is taking the market by storm. Every day more and more people get excited about it and not without a reason. The main strength of Mailbox is that it makes email sensible again. Or in other words it helps you be productive when working with email. Mailbox connects to your Gmail account (they promise to enable other providers soon) and helps you manage your inbox by adding a whole range of cool features. Just to name a few you can swipe messages to archive or trash them scan an entire conversation with a chat-like interface snooze emails postpone them for later and many more. In some ways Mailbox is a user interface design masterpiece. 3. Bidsketch Official Bidsketch Bidsketch is a tool for any freelancer agency or consultant who wants to make their client proposals better more functional and less hassle to tame. The tool is web-based and lets you manage your proposals from anywhere. Plus the easy-to-use proposal creator makes it possible to build apletely new proposal and send it out in less than an hour. Compare this to the traditional method of using abination of Word and email. The team at Bidsketch actually knows a thing or two about freelancing productively. Not only that but Bidsketch also tracks every proposal and notifies you when the client views it. This is great for clients themselves too because they get to approve or decline your proposals right away and even sign them electronically if needed. 4. Buffer Official Buffer Buffer started as a simple web app for buffering your tweets to be sent out throughout the day automatically. The idea was that not every part of the day is perfect to tweet and also that sending too many tweets one after another might put off your followers. Such things don sound scary for personal use but if youre tweeting on yourpany behalf then it a different story. Buffer has grown a lot since then and now lets you manage your Twitter Facebook and LinkedIn accounts all at the same time. Plus you get access to full analytics and click stats for every account. But the best part is that Buffer offers apps for iOS Android browser extensions and is even integrated into many other services across the web like Pocket Feedly Instapaper and most recently Followerwonk . 5. Pocket Official Pocket In my opinion it the best app for creating and managing your own personal read later list. The way that Pocket functions is very straightforward on the user part. When you stumble upon something you want to read later all you do is click a small Pocket button in your browser (or other device) which will save the article into your read later list. Then whenever you have a moment you can fire up the main Pocket list and go back to some of the articles youve saved. The power of Pocket lies in the number of available apps and platforms. You can get it as a browser extension an app for Mac a mobile app for iOS Android Kindle Fire WebOS and more. 6. Basecamp Official Basecamp In short Basecamp is THE project management tool of today. Its main interface is web-based but there is an additional iPhone app available so you can have a look at things on the go too. The power of Basecamp is that it offers a clear dashboard-like thing for any given project of yours. On this dashboard you can view things like discussions to-do lists files that have been attached to the project documents and so on. The tool also features multiple user accounts for a single projectpany so you can collaborate with your colleagues to make your work more productive than ever. Basecamp is premium. If you like a free alternative check out italic Teambox italic s . italic 7. Remember The Milk (RTM) Official Remember The Milk If it just simple task management youre after then RTM will provide you with all the functionality you need. What great about it (apart from the name itself) is that the tool is available as a web based thing but also through multiple mobile devices running iOS Android or BlackBerry operating system. Moreover you can integrate it with various online services like Gmail Google Calendar MS Outlook Evernote or even Twitter (yes you can add tasks via Twitter). When ites to the user interface there are a lot of keyboard shortcuts available just to make your everyday work even faster. 8. Microsoft OneNote for iOS or Evernote Official OneNote s and Evernote s Both of these tools are meant to make note-taking easier more accessible and functional. Microsoft thing is a new addition to the App Store while Evernote has been with us for quite a while. Im listing these tools together so you can make your own choice and pick the one that seems more suitable for your needs. There are some differences between them but the core functionality is the same. You can take a note any kind of note actually and have it synced to the cloud automatically. Both tools support pictures lists quick notes to-do lists and so on. OneNote notes can be created on iPad and iPhone apps as well as through the native desktop software 3 Microsoft OneNote. Evernote on the other hand offers apps for Windows Mac iOS Android BlackBerry and more so in some cases it can be the more functional choice. Actually my opinion is kind of biased because Ive been using Evernote for years and am quite used to it. 9. TopNotes for iOS Official TopNotes s Various visual note taking apps are very trendy nowadays. The idea is that you can work with your iPad or iPhone just like with a piece of paper. This means that you can select various pens pencils colors and create a great looking note incorporating your own hand-made drawings charts diagrams sketches or whatever else. The only problem with most apps like this that Ive tested is that there are simply too many in-app purchases. Usually you get just one pen and one color and if you want to customize your note in any way you have to pay (sometimes insane amounts of money). This is not the case with TopNotes and that why it made the list. It offers a number of brushes right off the bat and you don have to pay extra for the privilege to change the color. In short the app just works with no hassle. 1. AOL Reader or Digg Reader Official AOL Reader and Digg Reader Since Google Reader is now dead it about time to find a replacement. Now most people know about Feedly but I want to ge your attention towards two other tools that are also in this game AOL Reader and Digg Reader. They have very similar interfaces and very similar functionality. More than that the interfaces resemble the original Google Reader interface which is surely an intentional ploy by their creators. Both tools have their pros and cons though. Digg has an iOS app available but AOL gives you a more functional interface with some fine-tuning possibilities. In the end it up to you which tool youll end up using. I personally haven decided yet and Im constantly going back and forth between them. 11.
