Advanced OCR Free 7.0

Advanced OCR Free is a full-featured and attractive utility to transform the text in your image files into searchable text, which you can then save as a TXT or MS Word document. As input, you can use any set of images or a scanned PDF file – its high-quality OCR engine will transform all the information they contain into text-based documents with the maximum level of accuracy possible.

The program’s ribbon-based user interface will immediately remind you of the new versions of MS Word. Those who are already familiar with this type of interface will find no difficulty in finding their way around this tool. Unlike other similar tools, this free OCR utility does not allow you to capture text directly through a scanner – you will need to have your image files already in your system in order to start the conversion process. The program allows you to select more than one image file for the character recognition process. Once this is over, Its two-panel interface will show you the source file on the left, and the extracted text on the right, so that you can check and correct any mistakes that might have occurred during the OCR process. Note that the program’s initial output is a plain ASCII text, which means that all the visual characteristics of the original text will be lost in the process (bold, italics, font size and color, etc.). The layout of the source file is also lost. More
