Third Party Widget on Wix Website

[edit]

I am trying to insert a third party widget to my Wix site (doeity.com). The widget stays in the fixed position. How can I change its position? The default position of widget is on left-hand side as shown in the "Widget Position image". How can I shift it to the right-hand side? Sunnynitb (talk) 04:35, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Optical character recognition

[edit]

Does anyone know if the state of the art in OCR has advanced much in the past 5 years or so, given all the seemingly related advances in image recognition through machine learning? Our OCR article doesn't say much about this. Accurate OCR used to require expensive commercial software that had been carefully tuned (FOSS stuff like Tesseract was nowhere near as good). But now I wonder if it's possible to just slam a pile of scanned books through a Tensorflow script and train a good recognizer pretty much automatically. Thanks for any wisdom. 173.228.123.166 (talk) 05:14, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
