how to attach scanner in flex application? - apache-flex

I want to attach scanner to a flex application and read the image using scanner.Does anyone know how to attach scanner to a flex application?.

if you're building an AIR application with a native installer, you can incorporate a serial proxy (here's a list) and use the new File and NativeProcess APIs to (probably) communicate with a scanner.
Mike Chambers details how to accomplish serial communication with an Arduino on his blog.

This is impossible. Flash Player only permits access to camera and microphone.

Tablet + web app with USB-connected devices, or a pipe dream?

I have a .NET WinForms app wherein the laptop is connected to both a scale and an GPS antenna via USB. Is it crazy to think we could have this instead as a web app and on a tablet? We're looking to make things thinner and smaller (this goes in a truck.. driver doesn't need bulk of keyboard either).
Obviously the tablet would have to have a USB port (some do, some don't). But then for "stickiness" to USB devices, I'd have to have, what, a Silverlight control on an ASP.NET page? More trouble than its worth?
Thanks for any thoughts/advice.
You could write an ActiveX control or browser plugin to use the USB port (Silverlight might not be able to do what you need). Unfortunately these controls most probably will have to be installed on the machine manually (unless you want to lower security settings for the browser). You might be better off using ClickOnce with your WinForms application to simplify deployment of new versions and keep using your existing codebase.
If all you need is to read the GPS data, you should use HTML5 Geolocation API: Demo and Specification
I have connected USB barcode scanners to iPads through the USB to 30-Pin adapter with great luck. The only trouble is there is a power limitation, if the device draws more than a couple hundred milliamps the iPad will shut of the power to the device. You might have trouble hooking up peripherals that are not acting like a keyboard or a camera though.

flex mobile live video streaming to flash media server

I'm building a flex mobile application that streams the device's live video to flash media server.I can't run such an application on the flash buider's emulator because it doesn't emulate the camera and i don't have an android device to test my work on it.I wonder if using the NetConnection and NetStream classes with the device's camera will work as in a regular flex web application.I really need an advice from someone who tested those two classes(NetConnection and NetStream) with flex mobile.Any pointers or advices will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
NetConnection and NetStream with Adobe AIR for Mobiles works exactly as how it works with a regular web application.
However, some things have to be considered. Your mobile application should be developed on a "Landscape" mode. Since there is a bug with adobe such that the video stream gets rotated when you are sending the video stream from your front camera.

However, i am not recommending you to stop developing the application. This will be a good challenge though.

Text to speech in flex

is there any possible Text to speech in flex
Note: The voice wont go to another text to Speech website(example google translate)
I think your best bet would be to prepare your input within Flex/Flash and then use AIR (local machine file access) or Flash Player Alchemy (In a nutshell: Adapter for C/C++ into Flash Player) to talk to a service that does what Flash cannot do, in this case it would be speech synthesis.
One such service would be the Microsoft Speech API. If you pull this off, this be some pretty cool sh!t
Speech SDK 5.1

How to synchronize Nokia smartphone with a PC?

I want to develop an application using Qt and deploy it on both Symbian S60 smartphone and PC. I want the instances to synchronize their data when devices connected. I don't care about connection type (USB, Bluetooth, etc.). Does Ovi Suite provide a service for the task? Or could I use some Qt API for that? I know that Ovi can synchronize files between devices, so I could use a file system as a transport, but I'm looking for a more elegant way of doing sync.
Thanks!
You can build your own PC application using Nokia PC Connectivity API. It should be able to access files on the S60 device.
Here is a simple guide for your aim:
