FreeOCR

What is FreeOCR?

FreeOCR is a comprehensive optical character recognition (OCR) software solution designed for Windows. It leverages the powerful Tesseract OCR engine, an open-source technology originally developed by Hewlett Packard Laboratories and later released by Google. This intuitive application enables users to seamlessly scan, open, and convert a wide range of document formats, including multi-page TIFFs, faxes, PDFs, and various image file types. The software's key features include support for TWAIN and WIA scanning drivers, allowing it to interface with a diverse range of input devices. Additionally, FreeOCR can handle compressed TIFF formats, which the standalone Tesseract engine cannot read, further expanding its capabilities. Users can easily process multi-page documents, ensuring efficient document digitization and conversion to editable text
