Unfortunately, no. I wrote that I *want* to, but that's not quite<br>
|
|
the same thing... Currently, I have to boot my second computer into<br>
|
|
that dreaded win95 in order to do OCR under OmniPage Pro, which I<br>
|
|
think is pretty good.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If anyone writes a twain driver that uses the netscane protocol,<br>
|
|
I could try running OmniPage Pro under Wine (it *almost* worked<br>
|
|
modulo the twain driver last time I tried, which was 5 or 6 months<br>
|
|
ago) or under TWIN.<br>

xocr is unforunately pretty unusable.<br>

There's public-domain handwriting OCR software available from NIST.<br>
|
|
It was paid for by (surprise, surprise) the US Census Bureau.<br>
|
|
I've got a copy of it and am thinking of writing some software to<br>
|
|
train it with common book fonts instead of handwriting; since it<br>
|
|
is a neural net, that should be workable. I dont' know how big a<br>
|
|
database it needs. I also don't know what kind of quality I could<br>
|
|
get out of it. I'm thinking of using all the decent postscript<br>
|
|
fonts I can get my hands on, and rendering them at different sizes<br>
|
|
and skews and then using that to train with. The highest-level<br>
|
|
parts of the NIST software assumes that you are reading a form,<br>
|
|
but I think that rubber bands could define one-off "forms".<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
But I won't have any time to even consider playing with that until<br>
|
|
"after the book is done"(TM). If anyone else is interested I can<br>
|
|
look up the information. I'd guess that I'll be pretty unreliable<br>
|
|
working on this project, since it's only one of many personal<br>
|
|
interest projects I am considering working on.<br>
