Free OCR 4.2

FreeOCR is a free Optical Character Recognition Software for Windows and supports scanning from most Twain scanners and can also open most scanned PDF's and multi page Tiff images as well as popular image file formats. FreeOCR outputs plain text and can export directly to Microsoft Word format.

Free OCR is a complete scan and OCR program including the Tesseract free OCR engine v2.03. It includes a Windows installer, it is very simple to use and supports multi-page tiff´s, fax documents as well as most image typesincluding compressed Tiff´s which the Tesseract engine on its own cannot read. It has Twain scanning included and support for multipage Tiff documents. Best of all it is totally free!

As well as OCR FreeOCR can scan and save images as JPG's and we are currently working on "Scan to PDF" capability with the option to save as searchable PDF.

FreeOCR V4 includes Tesseract V3 which increases accuracy and has page layout analysis so more accurate results can be  achieved without using the zone selection tool.

The included Tesseract OCR PDF engine is an open source product released by Google. It was developed at Hewlett Packard  Laboratories between 1985 and 1995. In 1995 it was one of the top 3 performers at the OCR accuracy contest organized by University of Nevada in Las Vegas. The Tesseract engine source code is now maintained by Google and the project can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/

FreeOCR is a freeware OCR & scanning software and you can do what you like with it including commercial use.

The included Tesseract OCR engine is distributed under the Apache V2.0 license.
