Compare OCR Speed Against Adobe Acrobat

Aspose.OCR Product Family
1

We’re considering adding OCR capability to our application. The issue is that it would sometimes need to OCR large files ( 200 pages or more) and this tends to be very time-consuming and impractical when done in Adobe Acrobat desktop. How does the speed of your OCR app compare with that of Adobe Acrobat?

Hi there,


Thanks for your inquiry. I'm afraid, currently Aspose.OCR OCR capabilities are not up to mark. So its very difficult to compare it with Adobe Acrobat. Our development team is working hard to improve the performance and capabilities of the product. For the purpose some new algorithms are under testing for improvement of supported fonts recognition accuracy and performance.


Sorry for the inconvenience faced.


Best Regards,

Do you have any idea when you expect to release an OCR product you are happy with?

Hi there,


I’m afraid we can’t share any timeline at the moment. Our development team is working hard to fix it performance and capabilities.For the purpose we have involved some more resources. We will update you as soon as we get some significant improvement.

Thanks for your patience and cooperation.

Best Regards,

One more feature we would like to see added to the OCR function:

We would like the OCR feature to be able to determine if the PDF contains searchable text. If yes, no OCR would be performed and our application would know to bypass the doc.

Hi Tom,


Thanks for your feedback. Aspose.OCR deals with images only, our another component Aspose.Pdf is used to create new and manipulate existing PDF documents. You can achieve your requirements with collaboration of Aspose.Pdf and Aspose.OCR as following, provided once the Aspose.OCR performance is improved.

  • Check whether PDF is image only using Aspose.PDF
  • Extract image from PDF using Aspose.Pdf
  • OCR the extracted image using Aspose.OCR

Best Regards,
