Re: [Freedos-user] Dos ocr utility?
Hi all. It seems I just found another one. Was looking for some old fli files in cd.textfiles.com collection and accidentally found something called CAT Reader on some Canadian Shareware CD. No license information. It seems to be a part of DOS scanner suite (?). http://cd.textfiles.com/1stcanadian/graphics/cat_ocr/ Haven't tested it and don't have a slightest idea how or does it works, but I did capture a screenshot of the ocr menu (attachment: png 3.4k).

Hi. COOL ... thanks :-) You're welcome. :) Maybe HDPMI32 could work too ? I'll test. Go ahead and let me know if and how it works.

Re: [Freedos-user] Dos ocr utility?
Several months ago, I did a quick DJGPP ports of GNU Ocrad and GOCR. Didn't thoroughly test them, but quick tests were successfull http://bocke.na.rs/djgpp/ports/misc/gocr049.zip (240 KiB) http://bocke.na.rs/djgpp/ports/misc/ocrad.zip (380 KiB) COOL ... thanks :-) You'll need CWSDPMI to run any of those.

Re: [Freedos-user] Dos ocr utility?
I said it half-jokingly. :) I meant it's not tested, but it should work. I put the warning, because I'm not sure about the encoding and how well would it work with non-latin characters. Really, haven't tested much. Ocrad is not used that much (not much popular, beside that of being an official GNU package), but gocr has some popularity in Unix world (Linux/BSD). It might do the work better than a shareware package from 1989. But I'm not sure if the port is free of platform specific bugs. Haven't used it except for a quick test. Well, then... I hope your friend found a solution. Bojan. On Fri, 28 Jun 2013 15:45:42 -0400 (EDT) Karen Lewellen klewel...@shellworld.net wrote: Hi, No need for me to be brave, I am not seeking the software.

Re: [Freedos-user] Dos ocr utility?
I found two ocr programs in my DOS software collection. Both shareware. The first is OCRSHARE (ver 2.2 1990), the other is PRO-CR (1.04 1989). Both are from Shareware (ftp) archives so they might be still available somewhere. Don't know how usable those might be. Haven't tested them. Several months ago, I did a quick DJGPP ports of GNU Ocrad and GOCR. Didn't thoroughly test them, but quick tests were successfull (english texts + default USA DOS codepage). If you're brave, you can play with that. You'll need CWSDPMI to run any of those. The archives don't contain the source code. http://bocke.na.rs/djgpp/ports/misc/gocr049.zip http://bocke.na.rs/djgpp/ports/misc/ocrad.zip Cheers, Bojan.
