stephanhodges Posted February 20, 2006 at 01:16 PM Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 at 01:16 PM http://www.aabbyy.com/ is supposed to have good OCR, and AFAIK, they have Chinese as one of their supported languages. They have free trials available. The "Finereader" product both scans and does OCR. I'm not affiliated with their product. One of my clients has version 7.0, but I haven't tried Chinese with it.

horas Posted February 20, 2006 at 02:20 PM Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 at 02:20 PM AFAIK FineReader 7.0 has no Chinese OCR. Anyone has tried ReadIris? http://www.irislink.com/opt/uk/products/readiris/addon/asian/index.html?gclid=CNP0vteop4MCFS9UQgoddjIlJw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz嬾猪 Posted February 21, 2006 at 12:30 PM Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 at 12:30 PM I'll test it out in a few days and get back to you on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lugubert Posted February 21, 2006 at 02:54 PM Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 at 02:54 PM ReadIris pro 7 plus Chinese add-in. Most of the time, it works quite well at 600 dpi scanning. I haven't calculated percentages, but my impression is that it can be over 90% correct. Curiously, sometimes fonts that look very clear and nice are not read very well, but smallish, blurred ones can work admirably. I've also tried the IrisPen, but in most cases can't get it to work even with the Latin alphabet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanhodges Posted February 21, 2006 at 08:22 PM Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 at 08:22 PM Have you tried the "large and clear" fonts at 300 DPI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lugubert Posted February 21, 2006 at 08:55 PM Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 at 08:55 PM Haven't had any longer texts that really needed scanning. The odd heading for example could be entered manually, but lower resolution in such cases sounds sensible. I will try. Some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted February 21, 2006 at 09:22 PM Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 at 09:22 PM Take a look at this article about Chinese OCR. It mentions 紫光OCR, 尚书OCR, 汉王OCR and 北信OCR. http://www.chinaocr.net/show_hdr.php?xname=TVKUIV0&dname=CJQ0JV0&xpos=21 It says that 紫光OCR has the highest recognition rate. http://download.enet.com.cn/html/040362001091901.html 紫光OCR apparently only recognize 紫光 brand scanners but however, you can scan your documents as TIF (w/o compression) files using other software and then feed them 紫光OCR http://download.enet.com.cn/html/040362001091901.html The article recommends this scanning software to get the required TIFs, but I presume others will work as well. http://www.green37.org/jwsg/download.htm 扫描小精灵ver1.30 MFC42 60 中文版 scangn130.zip(256,487Bytes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
