It -reads a bitmap image in pbm format and outputs text in ISO\-8859\-1 -(Latin\-1) charset. Also includes a layout analyser able to separate -the columns or blocks of text normally found on printed pages. It can -be used as a stand\-alone console application, or as a backend to other -programs. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.I "\-a", "\-\-append" -Append generated text to the output file instead of overwriting it. -.TP -.I "\-b NUMBER", "\-\-block=NUMBER" -Process only the specified text block, beginning from 1. -Is only useful when used in conjunction with layout analysis (see below). -.TP -.I "\-D LEVEL", "\-\-debug=LEVEL" -The Levels are: -.nf -100 - Show raw block list, unordered - 99 - Show recursive block list, unordered - 98 - Show main block list, unordered - 97 - Show recursive block list, ordered - 96 - Show main block list, ordered - 95..90 - reserved - 89 - Show all blocks from every character - 88 - Show main black blocks from every character - 87 - Show guess list for every character - 86 - Show best guess for every character -.fi -.TP -.I "\-f", "\-\-force" -Force overwrite of output file. -.TP -.I "\-h", "\-\-help" -Print an informative help message describing the options and then exit. -.TP -.I "\-i", "\-\-invert" -Invert image levels (white on black). -.TP -.I "\-l MODE", "\-\-layout=MODE" -Enable page layout analysis. The meaning of -.I MODE -is: -.nf -`0' no analysis at all, -`1' column separation, -`2' full analysis. -.fi -.TP -.I "\-o FILE" -Place the output into -.I FILE -instead of into the standard output. -.TP -.I "\-v", "\-\-verbose" -Verbose mode. -.TP -.I "\-V", "\-\-version" -Print the version number of Ocrad on the standard output and then exit. -.TP -.I "\-x FILE" -Write (export) OCR Results File to -.I FILE -\. -.SH BUGS -If you find a bug in GNU Ocrad, please send electronic mail to -<bug-ocrad@gnu.org>. Include the version number, which you can find by -running `ocrad \-\-version'. -.SH CAVEATS -.IP \(bu 2 -Scan directly in b/w mode. Convert from grayscale only if you know what -you are doing. -.IP \(bu 2 -For better results the characters should be at least 20 pixels high. -.IP \(bu 2 -Merged characters are always a problem. Try to avoid them. -.IP \(bu 2 -Very bold or very light (broken) characters are also a problem. -.IP \(bu 2 -Always see with your own eyes the pbm file before blaming Ocrad for the -results. Remember the saying, "garbage in, garbage out". -.SH TODO -.IP \(bu 2 -Deal with broken characters. -.IP \(bu 2 -Make a better layout detector. Every character on its line. -.IP \(bu 2 -Separate (more) merged characters. -.IP \(bu 2 -Deal better with frames, lines, pictures, etc. -.IP \(bu 2 -Change to ISO_8859\-15 (update for ISO_8859\-1 with euro sign). -.IP \(bu 2 -Add an option for recognizing ISO_8859\-9 chars (Turkish). -.SH GETTING -.I ocrad -is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/ocrad/ocrad.html -.SH AUTHOR -.nf -Antonio Diaz <ant_diaz@teleline.es> -.fi -.SH HISTORY -.I ocrad -0.6 was released in December 2003. |
