  • Publication number: 20230071008
    Abstract: A computer-readable, non-transitory recording medium contains therein an image processing program. The image processing program is for generating learning data of a character detection model that at least detects, to recognize a character in a document contained in an image, a position of the character in the image, and configured to cause a computer to generate a cropped image by cropping the image, and adopt the cropped image not containing an image representing a split character as the learning data, instead of adopting the cropped image containing the image representing the split character as the learning data.

  • Patent number: 11011165
    Abstract: After acceptance of a start instruction of voice input, a voice input device determines whether a volume of input sound into a microphone exceeds a specific acceptable upper limit volume (S83). Upon determination that the volume of the sound input into the microphone exceeds the acceptable upper limit volume (S83: affirmative), the voice input device notifies a request to move the voice input device (S85). Upon determination that the volume of the sound input into the microphone is equal to or smaller than the acceptable upper limit volume (S83: negative), the voice input device starts inputting voice through the microphone (S89).
