Intelligent character recognition (ICR) makes use of continuously improving algorithms to collect more information about the variances in hand-printed characters and more precisely identify them. ICR, which was created in the early 1990s to aid in the automation of forms processing, enables the conversion of manually entered data into text that ...
Layout analysis software, that divide scanned documents into zones suitable for OCR; Graphical interfaces to one or more OCR engines; Software development kits that are used to add OCR capabilities to other software (e.g. forms processing applications, document imaging management systems, e-discovery systems, records management solutions)
Tesseract is an optical character recognition engine for various operating systems. [5] It is free software, released under the Apache License. [1] [6] [7] Originally developed by Hewlett-Packard as proprietary software in the 1980s, it was released as open source in 2005 and development was sponsored by Google in 2006.
Video of the process of scanning and real-time optical character recognition (OCR) with a portable scanner. Optical character recognition or optical character reader (OCR) is the electronic or mechanical conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene photo (for example the text on signs and ...
[1] [2] The image of the written text may be sensed "off line" from a piece of paper by optical scanning (optical character recognition) or intelligent word recognition. Alternatively, the movements of the pen tip may be sensed "on line", for example by a pen-based computer screen surface, a generally easier task as there are more clues available.
Asprise OCR is a commercial optical character recognition and barcode recognition SDK library that provides an API to recognize text as well as barcodes from images (in formats like JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PDF, etc.) and output in formats like plain text, XML and searchable PDF. Asprise OCR has been in active development since 1997.
Intelligent Word Recognition, or IWR, [1] is the recognition of unconstrained handwritten words. [2] IWR recognizes entire handwritten words or phrases instead of character-by-character, like its predecessor, optical character recognition (OCR). [ 3 ]
OCRopus is a free document analysis and optical character recognition (OCR) system released under the Apache License v2.0 with a very modular design using command-line interfaces. OCRopus is developed under the lead of Thomas Breuel from the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Kaiserslautern , Germany and was sponsored by Google .
