Has gone suprisingly well.
Tesseract failed in some places, making some of the sub-headings come out in what looks like Klingon. HF have varied their paper stock dimensions as well, which caused a few things to be clipped.
Acceptable output for manual corrections.

Expect a DM soon-ish.
Good news, they went through the ADF without too much trouble. Images just need a little contrast adjustment.
The copier used also OCR’d the whole lot, so they’ll be searchable.
Welcome.
Didn’t realise just how many I had - a whole box file full and overflow from that.
I’ve had a nice morning so far sorting, de-duping and remembering the time I coated half the kitchen in sesame seeds…
Been meaning to do it for ages so cheers for the incentive!
Python, Tesseract, OpenAI and my 3 remaining brain cells have now combined to form a working script that will rename the scan file names to whatever it reads in a certain section of the card.
Doing them by hand would be a nightmare 😅
Now I am wondering the same.
And looking down the rabbithole of Tesseract OCR haha.
I’ve done less useful things with a Monday morning before. PDFs, and I will try to suss a way to set the file names programatically.
A handful may come with ‘pre-printed accidents’ but all will be legible :)
As long as the scanner can handle the slightly thicker paper stock they use, we should be golden.
lemmy.ca notes that 87% of their surveyed users are mobile as of their census in 2023, with the lion’s share coming from apps rather than mobile browsers (that would be blocked).
If we have a similar split here, not handling app traffic would undermine the original purpose of the geoblock. “Use an app” is a much lower bar than “Use a VPN” in terms of accessibility.
Only you know the figures though :)
If you don’t mind them auf Englisch, I’ve got a hoard of them and time with a duplex scanner.
Find out what IT likes and bribe them for a little GPO adjustment…
Yep, apps are still OK.
Desktop redirects to uk. as intended, across all frontends.
Something to do with Cloudflare I guess. Have you gone for IP or WAF rules?
Does the job & will let you pare down the menu to the essentials, move start position etc. Can also be deployed and configured by GPO, which has been a godsend.
For the issue that you can no longer tell Windows to show all icons in the system tray, you can manually drag them out of the overflow into the visible part - or slap this into a powershell script and have it run at logon to do so automatically:
$Name = 'IsPromoted'
$Value = '1'
Get-ChildItem -path $RegistryPath -Recurse | ForEach-Object {New-ItemProperty -Path $_.PSPath -Name $Name -Value $Value -PropertyType DWORD -Force }
For the right-click menu being shit, hold shift before clicking, or put this one-liner into an adminstrative command prompt for a longer term fix. Restart explorer or the PC as a whole to apply afterwards:
reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
Snappy Driver Origin is great for obtaining up to date drivers. I’ve also had good luck pasting the hardware ID into search with site:driveridentifier.com to snag better drivers. IDs can be grabbed from device manager, under the details tab for the device properties. Example.
So they do.
That’s really neat!
Not that you should have to, but there are a lot of ways to fix the most annoying issues. Usually reg edits, better drivers and Powershell scripts.
Openshell makes start at least usable: https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu
Am going through this on our corp PCs.
Site either respects system light/dark theme or is dark by default. Either way, it’s a plus for me that is often forgotten.
Guides are simple enough and the illustrations are cute.
You’ve got the balance of plugging your own instance while reminding visitors that there are others just right.
All useful info and not so much of it that it is overbearing.
I’ve had some decent results with this:
Just a thought - I’d love to see a side-by-side of how this affects traffic by geolocation in the next monthly.
Not by a lot probably, but it would be an interesting tidbit.
Years ago, I’d laugh at this.
Yet it slowly becomes reality with every passing year. It’s bad enough that we’ve essentially lost pay-to-own in favour of subscription models for a lot of popular software.
On our corp network, the amount of GPOs I’ve had to mangle together just to make Win11 usable is insane. The users are still going to have a fit in October.
I’d honeytrap this with a software camera that just plays filth and shock sites on a loop :)
I lean on Irfanview+plugins for this kind of processing - it’s the bedrock of some of my workflows.
Will definitely give this a try though, thank you for sharing :)
Feels like the dirt is butter and the drill is a blowtorch.
