OCR program for Yiddish/Hebrew

VERSION 1.9b
Last updated: 9 April 2021

Reads Windows Bitmap (BMP), TIFF, PNG or JPEG files or bitmaps from the clipboard, e.g. screenshots with the Print or Alt+Print key, line by line (the program does not fetch the images from the scanner itself) and recognizes Yiddish, Hebrew (also with Nikud) and Latin (Cyrillic and other alphabets should be also possible, but I did not test it) characters

NEW FEATURES:

  • VERSION 1.2: Reading multiple lines at a time - please read more details in the manuals
  • VERSION 1.3: Supports images in TIFF format
  • VERSION 1.4: Easy switching between adding new characters and character recognition each by one click
  • VERSION 1.5: Zoom feature
  • VERSION 1.5a: Enlarged window for defining new characters, so that characters with a size of over 400 dpi can be displayed correctly
  • VERSION 1.5b: Image rotating by 90 clockwise/counter-clockwise and 180
  • VERSION 1.6: Improved direct input of letters, faster OCR processing and repeated loading of images, page rotating also in individual steps (degrees - without or with fractions, decimal point is a dot)
  • VERSION 1.7: Recognizing whole page without rectangle; recognizing multiple pages from a folder
  • VERSION 1.8: Supports images in PNG and JPEG format
  • VERSION 1.9: Improved tutorial, added refresh function via F5 key
