This document discusses using optical character recognition (OCR) software for AskMom's receipt digitization services. [1] OCR accuracy depends on input quality and is typically lower for receipts due to variations in fonts, spacing, and quality, requiring human review. [2] While OCR could handle initial data entry, it cannot replace humans due to limitations in language models and an inability to reliably correct mistakes without human input. [3] AskMom's business model prioritizes human interaction and flexibility over full automation in order to offer accurate receipt digitization globally.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

The money that the
microworkers earn is expected to
be significantly higher than the
data costs based on our quick
and dirty review of phone costs
in 3 developing countries.
Assuming each job pays 20US
cents we see data charges as a

percentages to be reduced based

because recognition of typewritten text is still not 100%

be achieved only by human review. Errors occur because
of :

mistaken for noise, and vice versa.
•Mistaking graphics or geometry for text- This leads to

5. When OCR doesn’t work
These imperfections may affect and cause problems in different parts of the recognition process of an
OCR-system, resulting misclassifications
6. Finally
Most OCR has some human interaction. Modern optical character
recognition software relies on human interaction to correct
misrecognized characters. Even though the software often reliably
identifies low-confidence output, the simple language and
vocabulary models employed are insufficient to automatically
correct mistakes. A developer of the software lemon.com confirms
this- he states “Whenever the machine learning system or the OCR
system have a low confidence result, it can ask for human
assistance, usually with a multiple choice answer or a request to
edit an entry”.
Models where OCR does not use human intervention, the
consumer is expected to correct their own errors which is not a

It is possible to enhance the AskMom Business model with OCR
technology on the front end utilising microworkers for quality
assurance and low confidence results. The use of micro workers
would still mean that we are operating at costs below other
players. However, the human element is the key as it differentiates
us. It allows AskMom to have higher levels of flexibility for
recording complex, ill printed, receipts with accuracy from all parts
of the world (offering a global solution) as opposed to the other
options like lemon which only works within the US jurisdiction
