Re: ABBYY 12 - why are end-of-line dashes an odd character?

My reasoning was that the default preferred output would match the hyphenation in the original text image: if you look at the 'Original' and 'OCR' images in the post above, the two hyphens in the 'Original' image are correct hyphenation of the words concerned at a line break... It seems that you do...

Re: ABBYY 12 - why are end-of-line dashes an odd character?

FineReader inserts this special character when it detects a dash at line end, indicating that the last word on that line and the first word of the following line actually are one single word, with a line break at the grammatically correct place between two syllables. But is there no option to displ...

Re: ABBYY 12 - why are end-of-line dashes an odd character?

These are indicators for possible in-word line breaks, syllabification. Writing in Libre or Open Office Writer, you would enter such syllable breaks by CTRL- (CTRL and dash) Same in MS Word. FineReader inserts this special character when it detects a dash at line end, indicating that the last word o...

Re: OCR for 78 RPM record labels

If I were going to do this I'd get a 12"x12" piece of 1/4" MDF, put a 1/4" dowel coming out the center of it and stick that to the wall with double-stick tape. I'd put a camera on a tripod about 6' back, pointed at that dowel, and have two clip-on lights to the right and left of...

Re: Do cameras with manual mode minimize/eliminate need for remote software?

Do you then have a process to automatically rotate the images so they are all right side up? I think that Scan Tailor does that. Nevertheless I use the image viewer PMView for this task. It is not free but with built in threading i.e. multitasking and 64-bit application, it can be very fast. I use ...

Re: Do cameras with manual mode minimize/eliminate need for remote software?

If you had two cameras & stored the photos on an SD card or whatever, is there software available for a PC that would still interleave them together after you transfer them to the computer? I use the freecommander , the split window (dual panel) alternative to the Windows Explorer, one of the s...

Re: Scanning/processing on Android phone/tablet

I don't want to discourage the bookscanner, but I had recently seen a software by Adobe for this. How does that compare to yours?
