Tesseract-ocr vs. ABBY Fine Reader

[chuckdawit]

Hi,
I work for a start up company in San Francisco CA. Our company uses
ABBY Fine Reader to do all of our OCR extraction. I've been looking at
alternate solutions to ABBY because I would like to automate our OCR
process a little more that what we have. It would be nice to use a
free tool to avoid having to purchase off the shelf software. Does
anyone know how Tesseract-ocr would compare to ABBY Fine Reader? Our
group uses Visual Studio and I see that there is a Windows DLL with
Tesseract, would I be able to use this DLL with C#?

Hi Buddy..

Everyone is facing the same problem...One uses Abbey another uses Omni for OCR...OCR engines are no free wares.. :-) for dat reason we r here...research work is going on this tesseract-ocr for free if it comes with  fully loaded then only our issues ll b solved....the commercial boxes are ok but we cannt compare those wd da opensources..evry engine has its own place in the market..we have to choose which suits to your requirement..all te best buddy

Hi,
In which lang you are proposed to train by using tesseractocr?. Since English data files are readily available for use. You can re-compile in Visual studio 2008 edn for which .sln are available for Msplatform. There is wiki section wherein detailed procedure for training are explained..
