Post an idea
Upvote ideas that matter most to you
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notification on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

IBM's success depends on gathering feedback from customers like yourself. Aha Ideas Portal is the third party tool through which IBM Offering Managers gather feedback from customers such as yourself. |
IBM is a global organization with business processes, management structures, technical systems and service provider networks that cross borders. As such, the information collected through Aha Ideas Portal (Customer Name, Customer Email Address) will be stored by them in the United States, and handled only as per IBM's instructions and policies. Your data (Name and Email Address) will NOT be shared with other IBM customers. |
In order to safeguard your information in Aha, do not leave your workstation unattended while using this application, log off after using it, and print only if necessary. If you need to make a hardcopy, remember to pick up the print-out immediately, keep it under lock, and destroy it immediately when no longer needed. |

This will ensure that IBM will not send any emails to you about all idea submissions |
Hi Allie, Is the capability for Handwriting/Text Recognition now available within Watson, I see there is NLP/NLU capabilities, wondering if there was a more updated status on this..
Thanks

@Wolfgang - I would reach out to the DataCap team to hear about their Cloud plans. Full-document reading is not in our current roadmap. As Shantenu said, we are focused on text within photos someone might take (text should generally be 5% of screen...currently optimized for full English words...)

The new Text Model will not be optimized for documents, but focus on larger text you may find on boxes, street signs etc.

yes, it is in the near roadmap. BTW, I have played with the dark beta and it works pretty well (tested on my pay sheet)...

Thank you Allie for your swift response.
I know DataCap and have used it - however I needed a classic
infrastructure for it - there is nothing to my knowledge that makes a OCR
service being consumable on the IBM cloud (other than installing DataCap
on a virtual machine in the IBM cloud).
In contrast others have already comparable services:
https://cloud.google.com/vision/
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/computer-vision/
What about having DataCap Service running and exposing some services in
the IBM cloud?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with kind regards

Wolfgang, this feature exists in IBM land, just not within Watson Visual Recognition. It is under the "DataCap" team, since it is more doc processing and outside image/video/face detection and recognition.

this is highly demanded from my clients as well. Microsoft and others have this capability already consumable on the cloud.
Therefore enhance visual recognition with this feature.
