So here is my problem:
For my job we use a lot of paper. We essentially conduct an inspection of the facility, fill out all this paper then take it back to the office and type up a report. I'd like to streamline this a bit so that when I am out on the job I can check a box if there is a violation found at the facility, I can check a box. At the end, I can click a "generate report" button in the app and it will spit out a report in the format needed listing the cited piece of code and then a notes section where I can just manually type in the specifics of the code violation found. Then I can print the report for the client and hand it to them.
Seems like this could be done in Power Apps but is there maybe a better solution to this? Could I do it in shudders Excel?
Obviously I am not expecting a step by step instruction, but if anyone has any ideas on where I should poke around in Power Apps, other softwares I could be using, or a decent tutorial for such a project I would appreciate it!
Thank you

I have been exploring Azure Form Recognizer for one of my project where we wants to perform OCR on some hand written texts.
The problem is that when we give scanned images to the tool to process, it some time doesn't even recognize the text written on it (even if it is clearly written). I tried multiple type of images by performing enhancement on it and also the B/W or colored copy of it but it doesn't works.
Some times it recognize value of two fields as one and this leads to incorrect data where one field is completely blank and other is having value of other one along with its own.
When there is NO VALUE in the tagged field in the testing data, it try to read the from some other place which is not even closer to that field or sometimes un-tagged
Could you please help with these queries.
Thanks in advance.
Can you please share also sample forms please make sure data is anonymized and without any real data ?
Please contact customer service to debug this issue.

Does anyone know how to generate an 11x11 module QR-code? Alternatively, it could also be a 13x13 code, but preferably 11x11.
I know the codes exist, but I can't figure out how to go about generating my own.
The code doesn't have to store much information. It would be nice with a tiny image, but it wouldn't need more than a simple text message.
I have used online code generators in the past, but most of them requires a paid subscription to customize and make codes, and as my project isn't sponsored, I don't have the budget to pay for the code.
Thanks in advance for all answers
I've been doing some work in VB.Net with Directshow over the past 3-4 weeks. I'm creating an application to keep tags on a video and eventually want to be able to extract the tagged parts of the video to a new file. In a video that is 2 hours long I might want to extract say 50 10-15 second "clips" up to 15 times (event tagging). This will be for a free application.
I've found it brilliant (and easy) to render / seek / play clips, etc on XP-Win7 with no issues. I've "discovered" the joys of GraphEdit, creating graphs, the issues with COM in VB.NET, GMFBridge, ....etc.
Now I need some advice. Am I using the right technology. Directshow seems to be very resistant to the idea of "open video", "seek to clip", "write clip to file", .....repeat for all clips, close file. I can sort of do this already if I visibly render the video but would need to do it as a background task faster than realtime render speed.
Things that seem to be missing are:
- an example of anyone doing anything similar (export multiple clips to a single file)
- no easily available 64bit compressors (lots of 32bit stuff around)
- all the references and examples I do find are VERY old
- VB.NET is not the first "port of call" for DirectShow developers
So, the question is, should I be using something else?
If not, has anyone done anything similar before. I'm not looking for their code, I just want some guidelines as it takes ages to figure things out in DirectShow and VB.Net just using trial & error (and Google).
I've looked at AFORGE (no sound), FFMPEG (command line toolset), Media Foundation (reluctant to throw away XP) and a variety of commercial helper libraries but not really getting any further.
Apologies for the length but I wanted readers to understand the background.
All help appreciated.
To output clips to a single file Microsoft had created the "DirectShow Editing Services". Sometimes it works, sometimes not. We use it in our software to create videos from clips like you. With a little bit work you can also include effects to the video.
It is also possible to use AviSynth. It's a scripting system and frameserver for DirectShow.
As I know, with MediaFoundation you can also create a video from multiple clips, but I never tried this.
I am looking for a reporting platform for our asp.net application, which will allow the report to be exported in excel (for tabular data), or PDF/Word (for document reports like Invoice prints).
Are there any standard options available?
I tried Rdlc, but it does not seem to help in the second case (at least I dint see a way, if you can please enlighten me :) ).
Currently we are using Interop for excel export (I know its not recommended for asp.net, we are planning to switch soon), use rtf templates for word reports (which also makes them somewhat customizable) and we dont have pdf export (planning to build it). But it seems like a waste of effort if standard controls are already available!
Cheaper the better! Free rocks!!
What's the issue with Rdlc? You can create any kind of format into it. For invoice prints etc you can use list data region. Its used for free flow kind of stuff. Its like ASP.NET repeater. In your case, you will have only one row of data.
Edit: even Crystal reports has equivalent functionality. As said, you will have only one row of data for invoices etc.
In both Crystal & RDLC, you can even supply multiple rows of data to your free flow report and generate multiple invoices in one go. Can be very helpful feature for users.
