good free OCR with GUI for correcting errors (for Windows)
- by Hugh Allen
I've used SimpleOCR, which has a nice GUI for correcting errors. Unfortunately it makes a lot of errors! (and suffers other bugs and limitations)
On the other hand Tesseract is more accurate but has no GUI at all.
Is there a free OCR program for Windows which has a nice GUI and a low error rate? I want it to highlight suspect words (by OCR uncertainty, not just spell checking) and show the original (bitmap) word while I'm editing the OCRed word similar to what SimpleOCR does:
Open-source would be best, followed by freeware, then trial / crippleware a long way behind.
