Hello Antonio
I have made my self a bookreading device, so I am scanning a lot of books.
I am reading mainly names of persons and dates.
I am using Omnipage which seems to have an excellent OCR engine, but the result
gets destroyed by its (intelligence).
A simple 2 column text gets garbled by a much to smart zoning algoritme, so
manually correction are needed.
You can't get the text as is, Omnipage adds and removes linebreaks spaces and
so on.
Omnipage don't read a characterset like iso-8859-15, but a language so you have
to enable the languages holding the needed characters, after which the spell
checkers destroys the result.
A characters close to numbers gets changed to numbers, and a number close to
characters gets changed to characters.
Omnipage don't have a commandline option and the graphical userinterface are at
the least a waste of time.
So I would like to use OCRAD, but there don't seem to be a Windows binary ?
I probably could build it myself, but I am from the hardware end, so it may
take forever.
I have been using UNIX/LINUX/GNU tools for many years mostly under windows.

John Nielsen
