Hi Folks: I just downloaded, built, and tested this OCR engine.
It is really pretty good, and it was very easy to build. At the moment it is a bit limited (requires TIFF format, 8 bit depth, and doesn't understand columns etc.) but the limitations don't seem to be in the engine, only in the bells and whistles. I think it could prove to be very useful for certain accessibility applications. Of course in a more perfect world we would not need to do OCR at all... best regards, Bill Steve Lee wrote: > It was noted at the Accessibility Summit, http://tinyurl.com/uqen3, > that a high quality FOSS OCR is needed and I remember reading earlier > that Google have OSed Tesseract. > > http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/09/18/191251 > > It's on a Apache 2.0 License. > > -- Steve Lee > www.oatsoft.org > www.fullmeasure.co.uk > _______________________________________________ > gnome-accessibility-list mailing list > gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list > _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
