Re: [orca-list] easy-ocr 1.5 released http://code.google.com/p/easy-ocr/



 Is it possible to use allready downloaded or scanned images instead of using scanner? I don't have working 
scanner under my linux, because canon is too lazy to write drivers. So can I use my existing images? I can 
convert them to pbm or what is that format called.

 Dear friends,easy-ocr 1.5 is released and we have made it more user
 friendly by introducing 2 engines, clean output folder, and facility to
 read unlimited number of pages. now there is no more inconvenience of
 creating a user in advance of installation.
 please. go through the read me carefully and give suggestions to improve
 the package.
 Read me easyocr 1.5 perfect for ubuntu 10.4. you can download from here
 http://code.google.com/p/easy-ocr/

 now a visually impaired person can read print using freely distributable
 software.


 Easy to install.
 we have provided 3 types of installation mode. gui mode, easy mode, and
 text mode.. first enter the easyocr package and extract it to your
 computer and then go to the folder, select mode and enter. in gui mode
 just tab to run and enter then follow the instructions.


 easy installation

 in this mode after entering the folder select easy installation and
 enter and tab to select run and then enter password and wait . system
 will reboot after installation automatically.

 text mode installation

 after entering the easyocr folder select text mode and enter. then tab
 to run in terminal. then enter and do as instructed.


 steps to be followed.

 be careful to select a scanner which has full support of x sane.
 1 after rebooting and connecting the scanner to the computer press super
 +x to open x sane.
 2 tab and come to -- directory /home/username/OCR/1.png and delete the
 word username and write your username.
 3 change colour to lineart,binary or gray (if there is no option as
 written above you can proceed with colour option)
 4 change brightness and resolution as needed resolution usually 300.
 5 changing the rotation. if you are keeping the book or letter on the
 scanner on 90 or 270 degree. please do the following. alt+tab to go to
 preview menu and press shift tab to reach 000 combo box and change it to
 90 or 270 as needed.

  a caution for visually impaired, please select 90 which comes below
 000. Though, all the 4 changes will remain the same you will have to set
 the rotation each time you open x sane.
 6 alt tab again and come back to scanner menu. and press control+enter
 for start scanning. now go on scanning as many number of pages as you
 wish.
 7 for converting and reading , press super+f9 and enter first page
 number and last page number as asked by the programme. after the text
 appeared you can use the reading key to read it.
 please note that it is not the page number of the book but the number of
 the page in the directory /home/username/OCR/1.png
 8 if you are reading the document later, use super+f,  go to output file
 to read your text material. you have pages and entire document here.
 9 you can clear the output folder by pressing super+delete. .

 10 there is facility for converting text in to wav format. super+a will
 help you for it.and the output will appear on Desktop.


 Special features

 two engines.

 easyocr 1.5 has two engines. you can select engine1 by pressing super+f1
 (window key+f1) and engine2 super+f2.
 engine1 is good for fast text conversion, and picture skipping
 engine2 is , good for layout analysis.
 both engines are almost 99 percent accurate in picking .
 no limitation to number of pages and text conversion.

 Now, one can go on scanning and convert the text by following steps

 1 after scanning press supper+f9.
 2 easyocr will ask you to enter the number of the beginning page and
 then it will ask you to enter the number of end page. enter the number
 and enter. then conversion will start and it is noteworthy that orca
 will announce the number of the page being converted.

 now after conversion the text will appear and you can press the add
 button to read.

 output folder is now clean.
 at any time you can go to your text material by pressing super+f and
 then output folder will appear. from the folder you can select any page
 by pressing the number of the page and you can select your full text by
 pressing first number of the page +dash.

 you can clean the output folder by pressing super+delete.

 reading letters or checking output quality.

 super+1 will always read the first page in the directory.after opening x
 sane by pressing super+x you can tab to the directory and change the
 page number to 1.png and again tab to plus1 combo box and press  space
 and bring it to 0 and now you will remain at the same page even after
 scanning.

 wav conversion.
 you can convert the text in to wav by pressing super+a. As in the case
 of text conversion, you can enter the page number and output will be
 saved on the desktop.

 friendly through your suggestions. please contact the following emails.
