 | Vivino, maker of the world's most downloaded mobile wine app, has successfully incorporated ABBYY's optical character recognition (OCR) technology into its product in order to extract information from wine lists in restaurants When ordering wine, customers can use the Vivino app to take a photo of a wine offering, and instantly see useful information to help you choose the right bottle. The integrated ABBYY OCR technology extracts the text from the photograph, which is used to access Vivino's database of ratings and tasting notes from 12 million users. "Although speed and quality of recognition were our main criteria, ABBYY's performance on text photographed in low light situations was what ultimately helped us decide," said Torben Mottes, vice president of product management, Vivino. "Our app users are often in low light settings, such as a restaurant or wine shop, and reliable, consistent text recognition is critical to its performance." | ||
