We are currently building a google action which accepts parcel tracking codes. However, we are having great difficulty getting action to accept a string of characters. It's very unreliable in recognition.
Examples
ABAERAF
3HE9WYR
Has anyone had this challenge and do you have any recommendations to improve accuracy for recognition?

We are trying to build address validator and was wondering if storing the data can become obsolete or will be a maintenance task.
Adding a API would rather be long lasting. There are not many resources which are kept updated
I have checked below Links.All of them are out dated and do not have latest data.
http://www.postalpincode.in/Api-Details
https://pincode.net.in/194101
Also there is not much on documentation part -
https://data.gov.in/resources/all-india-pincode-directory/api#/Resource/get_resource_6176ee09_3d56_4a3b_8115_21841576b2f6
Anyone who is already doing it in better way then storing data to app local db.
I tried below link and the data I got from this link is outdated.
https://data.gov.in/catalog/pincode-search?filters%5Bfield_catalog_reference%5D=90054&format=json&offset=0&limit=6&sort%5Bcreated%5D=desc
https://data.gov.in/node/85839/download
Indian Post would be the most reliable source of information, the other site you referred () gets data from Indian Post -
https://api.postalpincode.in/
It works fine for most of the pin-codes however the recent split of J&K doesn't seem to be updated yet.
https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/400005 (Mumbai)
https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/110006 (Delhi)
https://api.postalpincode.in/pincode/194101 (Leh)
The government sites' data usually take much longer to get updated.
You can find the updated Indian postal or pin code information from "India Pincode with Latitude and Longitude" API.
This API provides approximately 1.6L pin codes all over India.
Can check the distance between two pin code.
Can find the distance between areas by latitude and longitude.
Can get the details of pin codes.
Nearby areas pin code.
Pin code by state.

I've had this problem for 2 weeks. Google is not showing the star rating of my post in searches, although in the test snippets tool it's showing correctly. Google is also crawling the richsnippets values since I specifically fetch a post with the Google Web Master Tool and check the values.
Here is what it looks like in Google snippet tool result:
and what it currently looks like on Google:
I'm using the GD star rating plugin (1.9.22) and Wordpress (3.5.1).
Have you looked in Webmaster tools under Search Appearance > Structured Data
It will list any data there that it considers important. It is worth noting that they tend to be a bti funny about reviews, if you have less than 10 reviews don't expect anything to show. Also structured data is notoriously up and down, it isn't and exact science so maybe give it a little longer.
I am also searching on it ,
and I found on google below link,
https://developers.google.com/structured-data/rich-snippets/reviews#aggregate_ratings
Ratings
An aggregate evaluation of an item by many people should be marked up as a schema.org/AggregateRating . The default rating scale is from 1 (worst) to 5 (best), but any scale can be used; see below for an example. Google MAY display aggregate ratings as rich snippets or, for certain types of items, answers in search results, as shown below.

I am being tasked to find a address validation engine for our company's database. The preferred method is through API feeds, and we are trying to avoid Google as it was deemed highly inaccurate for non-US address. We are looking for providers for international addresses, especially those which can give highly accurate street address with just a postal code.
Hope to hear responses soon! Thank you in advance!
Google was probably deemed "highly inaccurate" for international addresses because Google doesn't verify addresses. Google Maps will place a pin on an address where it would exist if it did exist, but doesn't mean that it does exist. (Trust me, I work at SmartyStreets.)
Only 5% of countries in the world actually support complete address verification. The accuracy level of verification varies from country to country. See: https://smartystreets.com/docs/international#countries
All the other countries just don't carry delivery-point-level data.
But you can try some services like SmartyStreets, Cdyne, Melissa Data, QAS, or Postcode Anywhere, for international "validation". Be careful, though, I've seen QAS and Postcode Anywhere give back a "valid" result when actually the address isn't valid. Some companies only use "range" or street-level data even if delivery point data is available, meaning that they assume/guess it's right, even if it's not.
I guess it depends what your needs are.

I know how to extract text from images using Tesseract, can any one tell me how to extract the name , telephone number and email from a business cards(Image File by scanning)?
Tesseract Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
http://maniacdev.com/2011/08/example-tesseract-optical-character-recognition-ocr-demo-with-source/
reads text from image. Once you have the text you can write your own method which will take the text and return the desired result.
void detectCharacters(String text){
/**
if you want to detect email search for keyword "Email","email","e-mail",
"mail-id", etc and read the characters till next empty space or new line is found.
use same thing for name, phonenumber.
**/
}
I used Camcard and it is good. They are taking more time to approve SDK request, but its easy to use and straight forward.
try - http://dev.camcard.com
Use NSDataDetector_Class to find email, phone number , Link, timeZone, Date, Address, Duration etc in a given string.
Reference
Sample Codes
I have used NSDataDetector for phone number and link. Its working fine. Address detection is not working.

I'd like to build an app that uses voice recognition. I've seen big companies like Google etc implement this feature, but I'm curious about doing it on a start-up level. Anyone looked into this? Are there any tools out there for us to do this?
OpenEars looks promising...

Based on Pocket Sphinx.
If you start here at wikipedia, you'll get a good list engines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition#Commercial_software.2Fmiddleware)
As I write this (June 24, 2009) it looks to me that are two viable open source solutions
Pocket Sphinx (http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/pocketsphinx)
Julius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_(software))
Both have been used in iphone apps, but the iphone friendly source isn't readily available.
As I edit this (8 July, 2009) I recently learned that Loquendo (http://www.loquendo.com/en/) has voice recognition and speech synthesis (ASR & TTS) for the iphone.
The best approach will probably be to:
Record the voice on the phone
Send the recording to a server that runs the speech recognition software
Then return something to the phone to indicate what it should do
The Dragon Mobile SDK from Nuance does what is asked for. You need an internet connection to be able to send the audio to Nuance's server and you get a list of text responses. You can then decide what to do with the text responses (e.g. ask your user to choose the one he meant or perform some action). Here is the link:
