Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007082536A1] A mobile unit with a computer and a camera, the computer being configured to receive captured images as digital data from the camera and to extract text in the captured images by an optical character recognition (OCR) routine and to convert the text from an image format into a text format. The mobile unit further comprises a text database with text words, and the computer is configured to compare the converted text with words in the text database and only to accept the converted text as resembling the imaged text in case of agreement with words in the database. The converted text may than be transformed into synthetic speech.
