    "Excellent character recognition but forces bulleted text on user."

    by rjs5 on October 16, 2005

    Pros: Excellent character recognition which allows easy training for low quality documents.

    Cons: If OCR recognizes text as bulleted form, there is no way to turn it off.

    Summary: Clean simple user interface that provides easy control over OCR. Character recognition is very good. The biggest problem is when it recognizes letters (lower or upper case), numbers or Roman Numerals (upper or lower case) as bullet text. There is no way to recover your text that it mistakenly thinks are BULLETS except to manually delete and re-enter the text. Finding these random problems in the recognized text is difficult and error prone. It can happen anywhere but happens very frequently in text containing NAMES which include middle initials, page number references, volume numbers which are mistaken for BULLETS. About 1/3 of my pages have this problem where it goofs at least twice and sometimes on 7 or 8 lines.
