The application converts images into machine-readable text documents that can be edited using a word processing document. You can use the application to convert images or scanned paper documents into a document with editable text.Īnswer: It is used for automating the extraction of text from an image file or scanned document. This program recognizes text in a scanned image or document. Frequently Asked QuestionsĪnswer: OCR is an abbreviation of Optical Character Recognition. Some app supports only RTF and TXT output while others also support output to Excel and Word documents. It really is a nifty tool.Pro-Tip: Find out the input and output format before installing a particular OCR app. Just like the PDF converter installation I waded through last week, once I got through all the Conduit crap during install, the OCR worked fine. Take your time, read everything, and you’ll be fine. You do not give permission to install anything except the OCR, nothing else. Be sure to read each and every page that comes up, especially at the top. These days you have to read each page and even actively look for check boxes and options choices or you’ll get in trouble.Īnyway, like Tuna says, go slow, and look for the ‘greyed out decline button’.
I am sure most of us are lax about installations and take for granted the simplicity of the click-through process. It was a very good lesson learned about paying attention to the permissions pages on the installer. But after that frustrating process, and a pot of coffee, I started the install again but paid close attention to what I was doing. When I realized what I was doing (those EULA pages sure do look real) I had to complete the install, then go back and uninstall everything and then scan for malware, remove unwanted toolbars and search engines, and jump through all kinds of hoops to clean my system. Like most people, I just trust the installer and click through. I got halfway through installation before I realized what was going on. However, I ran into the exact same grouping last week with a PDF converter installation (might be from the same people). Yes, the installer does contain multiple ‘tricky EULA-like’ panels to get through, all based on Conduit.
