[Q] wm app for text or barcode capture - General Questions and Answers

I hope someone can help me! Im looking for a windows mobile app to use on my HP IPAQ Glisten where I can take a picture of the VIN number on an automobile or barcode and insert the text into another running app. I purchased an Socket SDIO infrared barcode scanner for another phone that worked great by scanning barcode, converting it to text and inserting into another program you could designate in setup. I dont have SDIO slot now ant want to use camera. Thanks all!

I think you should buy SDK and develop the application yourself or hire some one develop the program for you. AIPSYS has the professional SDKs and professional teams for program customization.

I just got my XDA Atom Life Today

hi. good day.
i just got my pda phone today. and it is really a big leap from using the standard nokia / sony ericsson phone; for one you cant really text using a single hand.
but maybe i could learn to adjust.
my next question is that.
is there a program i could use to type a message/text in the pc then send it through the phone?
like the one which nokia have? or in camera ... remote shooting ...
i am sorry, but i tried to look over the net/forums. really.
hope you could shed light about this.
thank you.
There's a piece of software out there called MyMobile that I use on my Windows machine. It displays a window on your desktop that shows the screen of your PDA, and allows you to control it from Windows. You can text using the keyboard, etc. Very nice application, and it's free!
could you share it? the website my http://mymobileconnection.com says the download is by invitation only.

Microsoft Reader Factivation

I not know anybody do it before, if no it is long over due.
Microsoft Reader for Pocket PC is here long as I remember, it it nice reader but their activation method are pain in [email protected]@ if you use their Internet Explorer it many time fail complete activation (you can no use other browser because it is Microsoft and use AX, MS think *nix users must go [email protected] themself?).
And you can activate 6 devices maximum, very generous Microsoft!
Here solution:
Perpetual Activation for Microsoft Reader
It is no hacking.
I simply take advantage of Activation Process "logic hole", it is all.
Up when they change activation proceses (doubt) or patch MS Reader on next ad hoc version (more possible, but it required full build *and* it not stop this activation work on Windows Mobile with MS Reader 2.4.x installated).
This NO is keygen, crack or warez.
I find it (literary) in Microsoft, is all I can say.
Name it "factivation" from Freedom Activation (or [email protected] your stupid activations, Bill...)
I want post it with my real name, but I change mind, one never know what future is next, and law change every day
Install Microsoft Reader for Pocket PC
reboot
Install Microsoft Reader Factivation
have MS Reader activated at open.
It is all.
work on: Pocket PC Windows Mobile 2003, 2003 SE, WM5, WM6, WM6.1 (tested) with Microsoft Reader version 2.4.1
It may will work on WM 2002 if use Microsoft Reader version 2.4 and not the old one (no tested but may work).
Sorry my english!
note:
This software not violate any EU Law in my knowledge.
It may violate laws in other countries (USA?)
It publish here as proof of concept.
It is not my, is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY know law apply to you in your own country.
If you not sure law in your country apply - DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT, DO NOTUSE IT.

Update on the M$ website
Please note that we have recently posted an update of the Pocket PC/Pocket PC Phone Edition version of Microsoft Reader.
This update addresses activation problems experienced by the users of some Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 Phone Edition devices. In addition we have made it easier to use Microsoft Reader with device storage cards

I have tried to activate my Titan since MS updated to make activation "easier", and just like in the past it didn't work with two separate attempts. I would love to tell the useless MS Reader team where to go. As of now I am through with that crappy product and have switched over to eReader - simple activation that always works and a better UI. I just wish I could get the money back for all the .lit format books I've bought over the years.
/edited (because exploit works)
Cool Exploit, thanks for sharing.
I put this in a cab with MSReader and it seems to work great!
didn't work
I tried the instructions as described above on my ATT Fuze (winmo 6.1) and it didn't activate my copy of MS Reader.
HTC Diamond default H3G Rom [6.1]

Me too tried as described but Reader did not activate anymore...
I still can't read my bought books
Surely Your Cab is fine, but not rof my device/rom/sw.
Anyone has some other ideas?
Anyway, my device is HTC Touch Diamond with default ITA H3G Rom 6.1, MS Reader 2.41.

It works great on all WinMo 2003SE/5/6.1 PocketPCs I have, all with the latest MS Reader 2.4.1 from microsoft's website.
I'd say PM the author if it doesn't work on your device, maybe there are some variables he (she?) have missed?
Didn't work on my Fuze either but did work on my Kaiser.
Oh well...
Call me ignorant ...

I was looking to make MS Reader more touch screen friendly on my htc Diamond (like go to next page on swipe right for example) and my google search turned up this thread. It greatly interested me (even though it wasn't what I was looking for) as I've had problems with my MS activation for some time (on another device). The big problem is that I don't know the heck as to what I'm doing (in this sense). Please excue my ignorance. While I know a fair bit about a lot of things IT this has me confused (outside my area of expertiese no doubt). The contents of the compressed file don't contain anything that looks like I can install it except "_setup.xml".
How does one run "_setup.xml"?
Just like any .exe file?
I've already run a search on this site to try to figure it out but my search foo must be weak because I'm none the wiser.
Any help would be appreciated

From what I understand you have unpacked .cab file (which you shouldn't - it is not .zip or .rar compressed archive, although it may look like one on your PC if you have winzip or winrar set as default viewer for .cab files).
Just copy the .cab file to your WinMo device and double tap on it, that's what you should do.
downloaded will test it later..
and hey mate
thanks for this.. :-D
worked like a charm thanks!
It works on HD2 and 2.4.2 USA version (Italian version and others are in 2.4.1)
Really great!!!!!
Great application -- thanks a lot!

There are several development approaches based on the smart and lean programming language Basic4PPC by Erel Uziel: look into the forum and search for "barcode". Most are based on the barcode reader library and the tool by QUICKMARK
There is a free trial of QuickMark. I bought a license for 5 bucks and use it to feed my own built product inspector web service via http
For serious usage, e.g. stock/store management or supply chain stuff, I recommend to buy a industry-enabled device. So did I because reading cam pictures was sloppy, slow and faulty.

REQ: BCR APP Really useable in HD2?

Hi guys!
I've come to use from time to time the BCR (Business Card Reader) APP bundled in recent HTC devices.
HD was "bearable", however the HD2 one, even with its 5 MP+autofocus+dual flash camera, has dropped the ball, since it's almost useless (I know of no one getting a single card completely and properly recognized), so I wonder if anyone has got any "older" BCR version to work on the HD2, or any similar SW BTW.
Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
I even bought a dedicated OCR card scanner, (close to 100 $ !!) but performace is also poor and inconvenient (wait till you get back to your office from a business trip, with a few dozens cards to scan..........)
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
The OCR capabilities of WorldCard Mobile are real big sh*t.
I painfully need WORKING business card recognition software for Windows Mobile.
For now much better way is only to save the photos of the business card without terrible recognition of WorldCard Mobile.
I have experience with ABBYY FINE READER and can say - it's the best.
But ABBYY Business Card Reader not available for Windows Mobile

Thanks for your advice, I'll try to find the ABBY BCR, though some others are available for PCs.
Just a shame HTC did bundle such a useless piece of crap into the HD2.

[Q] Offline note application with categories or tags for WM6.5?

I know it's weird for you to read someone ask this in the year 2014, but I'm actually using a HP iPAQ 216!
Anyway, I REALLY don't like it's note application. I used to use a Palm TX and I could organize everything in categories, then I could synchronize it with the Palm desktop software and I could find everything organized in the same categories and I could even edit them from my desktop computer.
Does anyone know of a similar application for Windows Mobile 6.5? Hopefully freeware, but it doesn't have to be, just as long as it does have those characteristics.
I installed Evernote for WM6.5 and it's really close to what I'm looking for, the major problem is that I can't read the notes without a WiFi connection. That's a BIG problem for me.
I REEEEEEEEEALLY hope someone can help me out .
