#24Adobe Audition (aka "Cool Edit Pro") from BITD I would even help on such a project, I have DSP and audio editing experience... While I'm dreaming, Ableton too.
Desperately.
Also, although it affects me far less, I don't mind paying the closed source penalty, woudln't it be great if Mathematica and MATLAB were open sourced too?

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can you elaborate? What is the use case?
Extraction from semi-structured documents. Reqs: - No absolute element positions - Able to handle a reasonable amount of skew - Able to handle photographs of documents (e.g. mobile) - Excellent support for repeating groups/elements - Around 95% accuracy without human verification
Similar to the other comment you received, I've also been working on some of the math necessary to do such a a thing! I have no idea how it would be productized there's so many things out there that do "good enough" jobs... One of my ideas was to extract structure from motion and use that to deskew and align..
(Can I also have a datadump of candidate files for testing?
