feature request: external ocr integration

Post by tracusr »

Don't panic. I'm not going to ask for builtin ocr capabilities.

When scanning a document, it would be great to have an option to pass the acquired images to an ocr software by commandline. It will do the recognition and create a pdf, which opens finally.

Abby finereader or omnipage support batch processing by parameters. It would save me lots of time and maybe others too.

Hi,

OCR is coming in Version 3 and the option to embed the OCR'd text back into the image as a layer for searching etc - will be provided in a limited fashion in all versions - even the free one !

Please be a little more patient - we are close.
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards
