Hey HD-Fans,
as I am very surprised of the great WorldCard functionality, I'd like to know whether there is a Software for text recognition (books or magazines etc.)!
Can anybody help me?
to be pushed...
I would love to have something like this. I was surprised by how well worldcard works. Its a shame you have to use it for just contact cards, especially when not everyone uses business cards.
Can anybody help us?
Hey ASK768, did you find anything concerning text recognition?
nope, so far ive been scanning using world card and then copy-pasting the text. Its a bit annoying because the text is spread accross many fields but its better than nothing.
Is there anybody having any idea concerning a text recognition software?

Hi All!
I just got my BA (SX 66 - I would include all that other info if I knew where to find it!) - actually hubby and I got ours together and it is definitely an upgrade from my regular Samsung cell and paper calendar!!! We are loving this machine but am still baffled as to why this thing costs over $500 and we can't get different ringtones for different contacts like we could in the $50 Samsung phone? Are my expectations too high?? I know it does just about everything else short of cooking or paying for dinner but this was a really important function for me. Not to mention one ringtone will drive me insane after a few days and I am too lazy to keep uploading different ringtones.
Has anyone found a way around this? A third party application/program that can help me?
I just like having the capability to recognize by sound whether my mother, boss, or one of the sites I am monitoring is calling - not to mention the "Death March" music I used to play to warn me against people who I shouldn't even bother to look at the caller ID because I am not going to pick it up no matter what!!
...ooppss sorry for rambling....newbie!

you check out this topic...

the application is called mortring... u can have personalized ringtones and sms tones for your user and groups... and the best thing about this application is it's free...
Doesn't your BA have Photo Contacts (Start>Programs>Photo Contacts)? It should allow you to set individual ringtones and photos.
Hey, I can't figure this out!
How can I mark more than one article read?
I've been grappling with this, too.
I don't think it can be done, bizarrely! I think it's the only RSS reader I've ever used that lacks this function.
I really like the widget for the HTC news app - looks better than anything else out there which is the only reason I've stuck with it so far...
What I've been doing it simply going into the top article, then repeatedly hitting the down button to pass through the remaining articles, which subsequently marks them as read - not ideal (especially when there are a lot of articles) but it kind of works.
What is also irritating is that each feed still displays the number of articles in brackets at the end even when read, whilst the "News" tab right at the bottom will have a green circle with the number of un-read available. You don't necessarily know which feed they're in.
I've been playing with BlueRss which seems to work well but unfortunately lacks a widget that is as nice to use as the HTC News app.
Anyone else with any ideas?
Thanks, too bad...
Anyone else have any ideas?
I just searched the forum looking for an answer to this very question, I guess it cant be done?
Unfortunately I haven't found a way. Such a shame, since the rest of the interface is nice - its widget is the best one I've used. Aside from the fact that the only way to import your Reader feeds is to export an OPML file from Reader, copy to the phone and import it's quite a nice program.
I'm flitting between BlueRSS the mobile version of Google Reader and NewsRob at the mo.
BlueRSS really is very nice to use - it's fast and nicely laid out and uses the Android browser automatically for full webpage article views but doesn't offer full offline browsing of the full HTML article (I don't think) - plus it doesn't sync with Google Reader Its other downside is the fact that its widget is extremely poor.
Google Reader Mobile is quite nice, and obviously uses the Android browser for everything, although i don't think there is any offline capability at all, so it becomes quite useless when away from an Internet connection.
I've tried NewsRob since it gets so much praise, and I really like the Reader-sync and offline browsing, and I'm leaning towards it being the best of the bunch so far, but the one thing that stops me from giving it total praise is the fact that it uses its own (quite frankly ****e) browser for navigating the basic articles rather than passing it to the excellent Android one automatically - you can choose to do this per article so that's not really a major problem, but it would be nice to have some multitouch support and do away with the poor zooming. If they offered this as an option, it would be great. It also has no widget to speak of
I am comfortable with my iPhone and have nothing against AT&T. I am thinking of moving to the EVO for its large screen and less expensive family plans.
However, I am afraid I may miss features I am used to having on my iPhone.
Can anyone answer these two questions I haven't found answers to yet?
1. Do you from you list of contacts pick a list called favorites to more easily dial from than going through all contacts?
2. While typing (or replying to) email, can you select a block of text and then cut and paste it?
If anyone who knows both phones knows of other things I may miss from the iPhone let me know please. I went to the Sprint store yesterday but the sales person really wasn't helpful - he tried but did not know a lot.
HTC Sense has a favorite's widget you can use and there is a list of favorites when you bring up your contact list as well. I don't personally use it but some might find it handy.
Selecting text is definitely different than the iphone...it's not somthing I've found myself doing often so I can't answer that personally but I know the option is there to enter a "Select Text" mode when you long press on some text.
I came from the iPhone and left it when the 3Gs came out and the thing you'll probably need adjusting to is the game selection...android market is improving on that but it's not been around as much so it's lagging a little behind in that aspect.
Lastly, the one thing I missed absolutely most when I made the switch was the keyboard...I've yet to find a keyboard that does prediction as good at the iPhone's keyboard for the tap-to-type method.
However, if you're willing to try a different method, Swype has some distinct advantages for typing on a screen (look once for the first letter in a word and look away while dragging your thumb around the screen in the rough shape of where you think the keys would be and it works great for me).
Ultimately, I would conclude that the phones are just different...it's like going from Mac (in it's current incarnation) to Linux. There's some things they do share in common but a lot of what they do, they just do it differently and both pretty well.
Hi all... Well im new here and im glad to find tech fanatics like myself .. I joined in to find ways to make my phone better but i found myself spending most of my time here on wp7 forums.. Im interested in buying one but i have some concerns and i hope someone helps me here...
I need the arabic language so is there any word about an official rom yet? And if yes when will that be?
Im in a place where ppl forgot sms and started using whatsapp instead.. I looked it up and to my surprise i found that microsoft didnt provide APIs that enables apps to access the phone address, which is the core feature of whatsapp... Does anyone know when will it be possible to have whatsapo on a wp7 phone?
And thnx in advance

not sure about when you'll get arabic support. the phone can already support it in the fact that your contacts can have the arabic characters in them, and you can receive messages in them, but just can't type in them.
as for extending the APIs to support more features, I believe that PIM and Socket support were two of the most popular requested features and we will probably hear more about it at MIX 2011 conference where hopefully MS reveals additional APIs to support this sort of thing, which would hopefully solve your "whatsapp" issue.
Believe me: I was just like this! I came here to see tips to my android, and caught myself look more and more in WP7 forums. And Brazil, Portuguese, is not supported too.
About the Arabic keyboard, you might look this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917886
If you Chevron Unlock your phone you can install your own language. That should do it. The only problem is.. Will it work after update? So, or you will be stuck before the Copy n Paste update, or they will find a solution and you will have the best without losing your configs. Anyway, I have an Android, an iPhone 4 and WP7. For sure WP7 have become my favorite one.
I dont miss copy n paste. And I love the Metro UI and all notification system (though it can be better, using the led).
About WhatsApp.. I think they are not that cool with this atitude. Yes, Microsoft API doesn't support their way to work. Okay, so, why not do the app another way? You could input the number!
So yes, there is another way, even if it is worse. But you have the option, at least. They just don't want it. Or maybe they are working in it.
Seriously, you wont regret trading your Android for WP7. Trust me (;
While I like the whole Android series, I seem to be stuck by 1 thing and I'm surprised nobody has thought to mock up an app that functions like this:
SwipeSelection
Someone made something for the Android that's quite similar. However it's still in beta phase and doesn't seem to be receiving anymore progress.
It's called Tyype.
While Tyype works almost identical to SwipeSelection, it does have it's faults. The big one that I'm curious about is whether or not swiping your finger through the actual keyboard in order to move the cursor is possible on android? If so, why hasn't anyone really thought about copying? It's immensely intuitive and handy feature for those of us who mess up spelling on the keyboard; even to those who don't misspell it's quite useful to changing searches, texts, script files, etc...
This has been on my mind for a while and I just wanted to throw this out there.
