Anybody know an alternative program for this?


Utilizing Optical Character Recognition, ScoreOCR 'reads' the characters right off the scoreboard with any SD or HD camera - and with accuracy greater than 1/10th of a second! Use the included ScoreBridgeTM to deliver data to any graphics system, hand-held device, website, spreadsheet or database via Ethernet LAN, Serial or IP. http://graphicsoutfitters.com/pdf/ScoreOCR-info+Guide.pdf

Not sure of the intended market for this unless a bookie is sending data back to Las Vegas. More on point I believe there's an iPhone/iPad app that may work in a pinch. Maybe from Fujitsu; the makers of ScanSnap.

Either way this program seems pretty high-tech for what it does.

In Wirecast, there's no countdown clock options. Most sports broadcasts have countdown clocks and penalty countdowns or stats.

Interesting, Dan. What would be cool is if there was an app that did it live.
