OCR Software

OCR software is a class of computer programs applying OCR. Typical examples of OCR software like OmniPage or OmniPage Server offer features for scanning or importing image files, conducting an automatic layout analysis and recognizing the contents of documents by using high-performance OCR algorithms. The so converted documents can be saved in many different formats like DOC, HTML, PDF or TXT for further processing.
For reading forms or questionnaires with a fixed structure there is specialized OCR software like FormPro. A special form of OCR software are developer tools like the OmniPage Capture SDK and OCR Console enabling software developers to simply integrate OCR into their own applications.
