I am testing Aspose.OCR under a temp evaluation license, for use in an internal tool designed to extract text from documents and images and search for keywords. I’m getting bizarre and unusable results in basic testing.
I created several test images (just random poems) using the fonts and file formats your product states are supported. For example, in one image it starts:
“The Buzzards
When evening came and the warm glow grew deeper…”
And the processed result is:
“T`hr Bdzzdrdc
Whcc ccccccag ccccc cad chc cccaa glccc gcccc dccacc…”
My C# code uses the basic sample from documentation:
ocr.Image = ImageStream.FromFile(file);
if (ocr.Process()) { text = ocr.Text.ToString(); }
I don’t know if there is some object configuration that would do the trick, but I ran all my samples through the free online OCR (www.onlineocr.net) and the results were nearly perfect. Unless there is a fairly straightforward fix we cannot consider Aspose as a candidate to procure for our project.ocr-buzzards.jpg (165.8 KB)
