FYI, you can use a script like this (with import, nconvert and tesseract - for example under linux):
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# capture-cut-OCR.sh
# Under Linux - Ubuntu
cd /home/tmp
import c.png && /home/NConvert/nconvert -out png -o c2.png -autocontrast -autolevels -eedge 40 -sharpen 30 -grey 8 -resize 3200 0 -ratio c.png && display c2.png && tesseract c2.png c2 -l fra && rm c.png c2.png && geany c2.txt && rm c2.txt
exit 0

Windows users requiring basic OCR can use the freeware Irfanview with the Kadmos plugin included in the separate plugins download.

In this sample, into linux, first it makes a screen shot (selected square of the screen with import), then use nconvert to have a better ocr result, then display the image to check (optional), then use tesseract with french parameter here (-l fra), then, here, open the text file with geany .(rm to delete temporary files)
So, with this script, i can convert to a text an image made from my smartphone, a screenshot,etc. (ex: a cooking recipe, or to copy some xnview menu/displays as text to this forum, or for fun)

Hi Peter,
PDF-XChangeViewer Free from Tracker Software is a free Windows OCR program that works well for basic needs...
It's probably at least equivalent to Tesseract, but only OCRs PDF files so general image files would need to be saved in that format first, which may or may not be a significant limitation. Possibly worth a look, though, if you don't have a commercial OCR application.
You may have to search a bit on the linked page for the free version.

Hi cday
thanks - I'm a "power user" of PDF XChange Pro for years and I'm currently discussing with them too. But I have to handle many files, all TIFF and maybe need a command-line software - so Tesseract could be a godd way.

Re: OCR supported?
If you haven't done so already, you might Google 'ocr command line windows' which returns a number of results that might be of interest, if you've just started looking at this...
