Chant or read the prayers when praying alone?












4















I am Reform and have never davened privately but am considering davening more often. One thing I am confused about is what to do with tunes (nusach). Are they only for public worship, or is it necessary/preferable to chant the prayers even when praying alone?

    Please note that certain prayers are only to be recited with the congregation. For instance, Kaddish and Kedushah. If you can get your hands on a good, Orthodox prayerbook with clear instructions in English, such as those published by Artscroll, that will make things much easier for you, and will answer most of your questions.

The OU has good advice on this topic




Say prayers (and blessings) out loud, but not overly loud, in order to
help you to concentrate on what you are saying.



Exception: The main exception is the amida prayer, which is said
quietly enough that you can hear yourself but that people near you
cannot hear what you are saying.




You should feel free to use the tunes (nusachim) if they help you concentrate or raise your enjoyment but they are by no means obligatory. Even in public prayers, there are certain minyanim that will only use minimal amount of chanting.

Tabula Rosettana

Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit.

How to label and detect the document text images

Image
1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
