新功能简介

今天标志着我项目的一个重大里程碑,我推出了一项专为可视化外国语菜单设计的新功能。这个开发源于一个强烈的愿望,即提升不精通当地语言的用户的用餐体验,使餐饮选择变得更加容易获取和引人入胜。

在多元文化的社会中,语言障碍有时会削弱外出就餐的乐趣——一种本该充满惊喜和发现的体验。因此,这项功能不仅仅是翻译,而是旨在为用户和他们的用餐体验之间创造一种无缝的互动。

菜单可视化过程

该功能开始于利用 Azure Cognitive AI,这是一种强大的工具,可以从菜单的图片中提取文本。这第一步至关重要,因为它为后续过程奠定了基础。以下是这项功能的操作方式:

第1步:文本提取

  • 利用AI: 使用Azure的认知能力,该功能扫描上传的菜单图片,并提取其中的文本。
  • 注重准确性: 这一阶段的准确性至关重要,因为任何文本上的差异都可能导致用户阅读菜单时的困惑。

第2步:文本编辑与组织

在成功提取文本后,下一阶段使用文本编辑系统重新组织并重排原始数据。此功能旨在将提取的文本转化为连贯的、可人类阅读的格式。

  • 重要性: 菜单的清晰度至关重要;用户需要快速理解他们的选择,没有任何歧义。
  • 格式选择: 通过对文本的直观重排,我确保菜单的流畅度与用户产生共鸣,模拟对话语言。

第3步:菜品分类

一旦文本被整理,该功能根据用户输入对内容进行分类。

  • 上下文感知: 如果用户提供的标题表明内容涉及菜单,该功能会有效处理清理后的文本。
  • 菜品分类: 系统逻辑地从文本中创建菜品列表,使非母语人士能够流畅导航菜单。

第4步:视觉呈现

为了进一步提升用户体验,该功能限制输出最多为九道菜品,为每道菜生成图像。

  • 图像生成: 每道菜品都附有信息描述,图像根据每道菜的美学吸引力和本质创建。此功能提高了用户互动性,使他们能够可视化潜在选择。
  • 质量保证: 严格检查确保生成的图像质量高,为用户提供充满吸引力的用餐选项预览。

第5步:用户参与

一个通知系统的集成旨在让用户在整个体验中随时了解并参与。

  • 计数菜品: 用户会收到通知,了解找到了多少道菜并由程序可视化,使他们在探索图像前充满期待和兴奋。
  • 创造感官体验: 菜品的视觉呈现不仅帮助用户选择膳食,还旨在丰富其在餐饮环境中的整体感官体验。

结论:通过技术连接文化

总体而言,这项新开发的功能代表了朝着让非母语人士用餐舒适和愉悦的重要一步。通过将尖端技术与烹饪艺术相结合,我相信这项功能可以改变用户与菜单及其用餐体验的互动方式。

总之,我很期待收集用户对此功能的反馈,并进行必要的改进以提高其有效性。技术与食品的交叉点是广阔的,我希望能在这一领域探索更多的进步。
