thedude Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Ok I saw this movie earlier today where the guy from Indiana Johns was being held hostage at his house. And these bad men want him to steal information from his company server. So Dr. Johns here took his daughter iPod and the part of a scaner that scans and riged it up to still screen images. And later they were able to take the ipod images and convert to text. Hows that for a project lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hows that for a project lol I think you are reffering to the Harrison Ford movie "Firewall", where he used his daughters iPod to store files on it. He used a fax machine scanner to scan data and an OCR program to capture it as text. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408345/ And its Jones, Dr. Henry Jones Junior, aka Indiana Jones. Henry(Sean Connery): Come on, Junior. Indiana(Harrison Ford): Dad, will you stop calling me Junior? Sallah: I don't understand. What is this Junior? Henry: That's his name: Junior! Henry Jones, Junior. Sallah: I thought his name was Indiana. Henry: The dog's name was Indiana. Marcus: Can we go home please? Sallah: Haha, you were named after the DOG! Indiana: I have a lot of fond memories of that dog. Don't mess with Han Solo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DingleBerries Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 No, but it is possible. The Ipod can run linux and linux does have drivers for these devices. It will just take A LOT of hacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Try "flatbed scanner". You can probably find some cheap old ones on google shopping. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scanner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition I think Darren has an OCR twitter bot??
