In my opinion, the conversion accuracy of the Microsoft tools was considerably better than SimpleOCR. SimpleOCR was fine with normal text, but its handling of multi-column layouts was a disappointment. The converted file can be saved to a DOC or TXT format. SimpleOCR offers some control over the conversion through text selection, image selection and text ignore features.Ĭonversion to text takes the process into a validation stage a user can correct discrepancies in the converted text using an in-built spell-checker. Set it up to read directly from a scanner or by adding a page (JPG, TIFF, BMP formats). The software is clunky and looks outdated as it hasn't been updated since version 3.1, but you can still try it out for its simplicity. Machine print recognition though does not have any restrictions. But the software offers handwriting recognition only as a 14-day free trial.
The problem I was having with handwriting recognition using Microsoft tools could have been solved by SimpleOCR. This is a screen capture of SimpleOCR's interface
