OCR stands for optical character recognition, it is a tool mainly used to covert books into e-books. So I played around with this tool, and it works fairly well with scanned documents but a slight increase in errors for photographs.
I feel that this tool will come in handy, espically for students that need to copy alot of notes during their lectures, with this tool they can just take a photograph with their handphone and convert those photographs into electronic text using OCR. There is also a free web base OCR tool that you can try.
I think this tool that you introduce is very helpful especially for students like us who need to copy down alot of notes. Keep updating us with more useful tools! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a really interesting tool! I tried it out at the website but the text that appeared wasn't understandable at all. Maybe you could give us an example, using your own notes! :)
ReplyDelete@dyana I'll try my best :)
ReplyDelete@Beverley Ng maby you should try scanning or take high res photos of your document, that way the result will be more accurate.
