Open Source OCR Engine

Bindings to 'Tesseract': a powerful optical character recognition (OCR) engine that supports over 100 languages. The engine is highly configurable in order to tune the detection algorithms and obtain the best possible results.

HTTP and WebSocket Server Library

Provides low-level socket and protocol support for handling HTTP and WebSocket requests directly from within R. It is primarily intended as a building block for other packages, rather than making it particularly easy to create complete web applications using httpuv alone. httpuv is built on top of the libuv and http-parser C libraries, both of which were developed by Joyent, Inc. (See LICENSE file for libuv and http-parser license information.)

Bindings to 'OpenCV' Computer Vision Library

Exposes some of the available 'OpenCV' < https://opencv.org/> algorithms, such as a QR code scanner, and edge, body or face detection. These can either be applied to analyze static images, or to filter live video footage from a camera device.

Google's Compact Language Detector 3

Google's Compact Language Detector 3 is a neural network model for language identification and the successor of 'cld2' (available from CRAN). The algorithm is still experimental and takes a novel approach to language detection with different properties and outcomes. It can be useful to combine this with the Bayesian classifier results from 'cld2'. See < https://github.com/google/cld3#readme> for more information.

R Bindings for 'ZeroMQ'

Interface to the 'ZeroMQ' lightweight messaging kernel (see < https://zeromq.org/> for more information).

Minimal Examples of Using Rust Code in R

Template R package with minimal setup to use Rust code in R without hacks or frameworks. Includes basic examples of importing cargo dependencies, spawning threads and passing numbers or strings from Rust to R. Cargo crates are automatically 'vendored' in the R source package to support offline installation. The GitHub repository for this package has more details and also explains how to set up CI. This project was first presented at 'Erum2018' to showcase R-Rust integration < https://jeroen.github.io/erum2018/>; for a real world use-case, see the 'gifski' package on 'CRAN'.

Read and Play Digital Music (MIDI)

Bindings to 'libfluidsynth' to parse and synthesize MIDI files. It can read MIDI into a data frame, play it on the local audio device, or convert into an audio file.

Easily Send HTML Email Messages

Compose and send out responsive HTML email messages that render perfectly across a range of email clients and device sizes. Helper functions let the user insert embedded images, web link buttons, and 'ggplot2' plot objects into the message body. Messages can be sent through an 'SMTP' server, through the 'Posit Connect' service, or through the 'Mailgun' API service < https://www.mailgun.com/>.

Simple Git Client for R

Simple git client for R based on 'libgit2' < https://libgit2.org> with support for SSH and HTTPS remotes. All functions in 'gert' use basic R data types (such as vectors and data-frames) for their arguments and return values. User credentials are shared with command line 'git' through the git-credential store and ssh keys stored on disk or ssh-agent.

Parse Argument Options

A binding to the minimist JavaScript library. This module implements the guts of optimist's argument parser without all the fanciful decoration.
