Ocasionally people (incl. me) asked about OCR-ing Greek. Today I have
downloaded "Readiris 5", a 30 days full test-version from:
http://www.irislink.com/UK/index.html
I took my NA26-GNT and scanned a few pages.
I scanned 10 pages with the learning function enabled (here the prog. asks
to enter the letter for an unrecognized character). After this learning
phase I scanned another page and the outcome was as below (Mt 7:7 - 7:20).
This result is not very bad, but also not very good. I also don't know if I
used the program correctly, but there are not very many options.
I think the program is helpful for scanning large amounts of greek text from
one book (with the same font and size). Greek is notoriously difficult to
OCR with all the accents and diacritical signs.
Any other experiences?
Best wishes
Wieland
