SimpleOCR was fine with normal text, but its handling of multi-column layouts was a disappointment.
The converted file can be saved to a DOC or TXT format. SimpleOCR offers some control over the conversion through text selection, image selection and text ignore features.Ĭonversion to text takes the process into a validation stage a user can correct discrepancies in the converted text using an in-built spell-checker. In addition, it allows users to configure different settings to customize the OCR according to needs. Though only allows users to turn captures to plain text, it offers extended features, like text replacement, translation, text to speech conversion. The SemaMedia platform also supports video OCR with the Video OCR API.According to the docs, video OCR is an analysis cascade which includes video segmentation (hard-cut), video text detection/recognition, and named entity recognition from video text (NER is a free add-on feature). Set it up to read directly from a scanner or by adding a page (JPG, TIFF, BMP formats). Capture2Text is a powerful OCR program to recognize texts from screen captures.
Free text recognition software software#
The software is clunky and looks outdated as it hasn't been updated since version 3.1, but you can still try it out for its simplicity. Machine print recognition though does not have any restrictions. But the software offers handwriting recognition only as a 14-day free trial. The problem I was having with handwriting recognition using Microsoft tools could have been solved by SimpleOCR.
