OCRFeeder 0.7.7 released

[news 28]

Hi,

 

Today I released OCRFeeder version 0.7.7.

 

What is OCRFeeder

==================

 

OCRFeeder is a document layout analysis and optical character

recognition system.

Given the images it will automatically outline its contents, distinguish

between what's graphics and text and perform OCR over the latter. It

generates multiple formats being its main one ODT.

 

It features a complete GTK+ GUI that allows users to correct any

unrecognized characters, define or correct bounding boxes, set paragraph

styles, clean the input images, import PDFs, save and load the project,

export everything to multiple formats, etc.
