If you can’t use any of the eighteen automated workflows that come with the app, you can use a wizard to create your own. I usually need to use OCR with complex documents and images of old books, so I rely heavily on FineReader’s “Verification” tool. This looks like a high-tech version of your word processor’s spell checker. In the middle of its window is the text that FineReader has extracted from the scanned or saved image, with any doubtful word or letter highlighted. At the top of its window is a smaller window showing the original image itself so you can see exactly what the extracted text should say even if the OCR didn’t correctly recognize it. At the bottom of the window is a list of suggestions.
The whole interface is elegantly and efficiently designed so that if, like me, you prefer the keyboard to the mouse, you can zip through hundreds of corrections simply by tapping a few keys. In my informal tests, FineReader was more accurate in recognizing badly-printed or badly-photographed text than any rival product, and the Verification tool adds to the accuracy of the final output.
Solutions, Not Problems
FineReader also has the best tools for solving difficult problems easily. For example, I scanned in a page containing a table that had no gridlines and only a few random cells filled in, while the other cells were blank. FineReader at first recognized the table as miscellaneous words, but I used its Text Area tool to define the region as a table, then chose the menu command “Analyze Table Data,” and FineReader recognized the table structure with perfect accuracy. Other correction tools include one that can automatically straighten and align one or all pages in a scan, or trim one or more pages to a specified size.Better Imagery
Advanced OCR software like FineReader produces ideal results only with high-quality images. When I used FineReader to extract text and tables from scans or images or modern books and magazines, it produced excellent results with little or no manual intervention. When I used it to extract text from images of old books and newspapers, I had to spend a lot of time with the Verification tool to get the output right. But FineReader surpassed its competition with the range and power of correction tools that it provides, and with the fine-tuning control it gave me over whether to create output files that were fully or partly formatted, or merely to extract the text.Abbyy Finereader Pro For Mac
If you’ve used other OCR apps and you’ve been disappointed in the results, then you owe it to your business or yourself to try FineReader. More than most other kinds of software, OCR combines art and science – and FineReader combines the most the most artfully-designed OCR interface I’ve ever seen with the most advanced OCR technology.
