Training launguage

Post by homedweller »

Hello,
Now I'm using the newest version of PDF ExChange Editor plus. I was very happy to see that there are a lot of new languages by OCR. I often use and need the Latin language, but I was disappointed when I scanned a Latin page. After using OCR I copied one line after another, but the results were not satisfying. Is it possible to train that language to get better results?


Cheers,
homedweller

Hello homedweller,

Welcome to our forums, and thanks for the post!
I am afraid that no - it is not possible to train the OCR engine :(

Regards,
Stefan

Try new Convert->Enhance Scanned Pages

Quality of OCR MUCH better.

Hi everyone,
I think the main issue here is that Latin is not a Default OCR language, though it should work nicely with English selected, possibly try adding some of the other language to the mix, it may improve those results a bit.
Let us know how the new enhanced scan goes with a few more languages selected!

I made quick test with OCR Latin text - it seems not so bad

pdf file was created from png image and now contains text layer.

After downloading the Latin Language package, I've found the same results as Ovg here.
Can you confirm that you have the Latin OCR language pack installed?0
