Hello forum; I'm trying to use a 3rd party library .dll to OCR tif images. I chose Transym http://www.transym.com . In order to access their functions I've written .c wrappers. Currently my sample app GPFs. Can someone help with harbour's ...

Hi Reinaldo, not for me, I don't want to deal with those big, obsolete multi page picture file monsters. :wink: Already my standard viewer can't show me, what is in those files. On the other side I need no API. I have made good experiences with CL Tools such as GhostScript, calibre (epub-convert/epu...

It would make a lot more sense to fix or find how to use Tesseract API, don't you think?

Renaldo.

Hi Reinaldo,

but you can convert the tiffs in png, jpg, or other picture format before OCRing!?
For this you can use ImageMagick like this:

- split multi page split: magick.exe <FileName>.tiff -scene 1 <FileName>%d.tif
- convert to png: magick.exe convert *.tiff *.png

Hi Reinaldo, here my experiences with tesseract so far, perhaps it helps in some cases: - I want direct output of searchable pdf - not only hOCR -, possible with version 3.03 and higher - I want to run tesseract on windows engines, so I was looking after windows bins version 3.03 or higher - ...

I would like to see how you do it.
Is the identifier in a certain area of the documents. In the past if have cut out that area of document and performed OCR on just that area.
Much less memory needed and much less invalid conversion of text.

... .tif scanned documents. Results are about 80% accurate. I need better than that. For tesseract to be more accurate for the type of documents I'm OCRing I would need to change psm mode to 3 -which is default from command line. Changing PSM to 3 from API causes the OCR engine to break with runtime ...

... for version 3.05 and 4.00. With pdfImages (part of xpdfbin) and/or ImageMagick and pdftk you can realise all necessary jobs before and after the OCR-process.

EZTwain has built in supports for Transym OCR Software's TOCR. I have used it and is pretty straight forward, especially if you are using EZTwain already. It is not free so that might be a problem. Hey Gale; What exactly do I need to purchase ...

... you wrote that you were interested in copying text from prds. AFAIK, that cannot be done if the pdf is made of JPGs, unless you use some kind of OCR or so to do the conversion. Am I wrong?

Good morning Otto,

you must use hbzebra library:

Code: Select all  Expand view

https://github.com/harbour/core/blob/master/contrib/hbzebra/qrcode.c

Good luck !

Best regards,

It does not support QR. It does support some other barcode engines but i have not seen QR supported by them either.

Hallo Gale,
is it possible to scann QR-Code with your libraries, too.
Thanks in advance
Otto
