Does anybody here know of a Web-based OCR program or Web service?
Many people want to do OCR against digitized texts. We all know of various OCR
applications (Adobe Acrobat, ABBYY FineReader, Google's Tesseract, etc.), but
they are not necessarily Web-based. As a service to my university, I
Hi,
I recently looked into similar services...
There are some cloud based vendors that do this. Abbyy, for example,
offers one. But the cost seems rather high when working in bulk. I did
the math and it didn't make sense for usI think they market it
towards people building mobile apps,

On a related note, I am looking for a recommendation for software that
provides OCR for handwriting (print and/or cursive). To clarify, this
would be pen ink on paper not digital ink.
Thank you,

I don't think that would be possible to OCR handwriting. As I can remember, the
result are pretty useless. Unless using something like recaptcha.

Something like this is on my to do list for our future Fedora Commons
deployment here at UConn. I was considering wrapping a SOAP interface around
something like the Perl Image::OCR::Tesseract module and adding it to our
ingest pipeline unless someone can recommend a better OCR application.
Thank you for the prompt replies.
Call me cheap or unable to navigate the political/fiscal landscape, but I don't
see myself subscribing to a service. Instead I see putting a wrapper around
Tesseract, but alas, the wrappers are written in languages that I don't know.

Hi,
In regards to handwriting, you could always train an OCR library to do
this and there are several OCR libraries that attempt to do this
out-of-the-box (probably most notable is Evernote) ...but yeah, the
results vary greatly depending on the style of writing. Most focus on
just hand
At the risk of shameless self-promotion, I would suggest an alternative to
the attempt at using OCR for handwriting. My field of research focuses on
pre-modern manuscripts which, to no one's surprise, have resisted any OCR
method. One solution is to create an environment that makes transcribing
