Need some help with OCR

Post by itsme »

Hello,

Our DIY-bookscanner ( 2x s95 with CHDK) is builded but now we are stuck with the processing of the pictures. :(

We have a Windows computer and a HQ jpg to test. The jpg is 2.2MB and only contain 1 page of a book. I've been searching and testing for some time but i don't get a good result.

So to be shure: what programs ( OCR, Windows) do we need to get a pdf wich is searchable? A link is also good.

Thank you in advance
quân

You can use Tesseract or one of its GUI frontends, e.g., VietOCR, to recognize the image. Make sure your images are scanned or captured with 300-DPI resolution. Once you get the text output, you can print to a PDF virtual printer using PDFCreator.
