OCR from image
« on: August 04, 2008, 02:27:58 PM »
Does anyone know of any software which can do OCR from an image rather than a scan? I tried this one but it just crashes when I try to run it.

@bloodline
Uploading to my web space. I'll email you a link. Thanks!

@Oliver
The problems is whether or not the software will allow you to select a file to OCR or just do it from a scan. Lets see what Adobe OCR comes up with.

Cheers guys!

Hmm, I've got Acrobat Pro on my Mac and I have just found the "Recognise Text Using OCR" function. But it says my document is too low dpi. Ugh, I'll have to redo all the source images :-x

Just re-created the PDF at a higher resolution and it allowed me to do the OCR, but what came out was garbage. Bloodline, is that what you were planning to do?

@bloodline
Have just sent you a link to the files. If you have time, perhaps you could see what your software makes of it. Thanks!

@Oliver
I'll have a look at those pieces of software. Thanks for checking with your mate.
