Black letter (Fraktur) OCR in new ABBYY FineReader module

Post by Markus Stamm »

Dear support team,

ABBYY FineReader 15 and FineReader Server support OCR of black letter (Fraktur) fonts. Is this also available in PDF-XChange Pro with the Extended OCR license addition? Black letter OCR support is an important differentiator for both the Tesseract and the ABBYY OCR modules, and it is not supported by most other PDF editors, including Adobe Acrobat Pro, so it would be great if this could be available for PDF-XChange Pro 9 with the Extended OCR license additions as well.

Thank you and kind regards,
Markus

Hi, Markus Stamm

Our Dev team is double checking this for me, but to my knowledge our license from ABBYY prevents us from using recognition of Fractur/Gothic scripting. As such, I do not believe we can offer this currently. Perhaps it will be available in the future, or if we are lucky the dev team will discover otherwise and post here after me.

Until next time,
