Wow. It would have taken me months to work any of this out, being new to the software.Thanks a lot. I'll go and look at your other videos to see if you have anything specifically on OCR with mathematical typesetting, equations etc. I have never found anything great for that purpose that is also affordable (for a one man band). I believe that something called Infty Reader does just that with ABBY's engine, but I have no idea how solid the integration is, how easy it is to use or if there are better tools out there, particularly if they can integrate with ABBY which is indeed phenomenal for OCR.
How good is this software when a document is written in a different alphabet than the English one? I predominantly work with documents from eastern countries like Taiwan, Malaysia, Japan, China, etc.
Just using it with an old Chinese (with some Czech words inside) PDF book, actually, not even very well scanned, and results are pretty impressive. Much much better than the competition (I tested also with the newest Readiris software). This is the software you should get.
hello? Among the OCR options, is there a way to make the text continue without spaces when a sentence is continued from the end of one line to the next?
The previous version (14) can't automatically or programmatically select the areas that we want to do ocr so that we have to manually select the areas document by document even though each document is formatted in the same way, which takes a lot of time. Does this version support automatic area selection?
@@TheAccessibilityGuy The three panels are entrapped in one window. I want to detach them from each other and place each panel in a separate monitor. I have two external monitor plus the laptop monitor
@@TheAccessibilityGuy this is a screenshot of my windows access via RDP when I chose multi monitor option in the RDP software setting to extend windows 10 to my 3 monitors but regarding abbyy I had to open it but not maximized and then stretch it to the take the width of the two monitors then stretch down to occupy the laptop's monitor. imgur.com/KM2OJCh.png. if you notice in the aforementioned screenshot the navigation pane is taking a lot of space and I had to do that so the zoom pan can be centered in the laptop otherwise I will end up having this view imgur.com/T10W7yk.png where the image in the zoom pane is shifted to the left. It is mind boggling that this feature is missing because I have been in the library and peaked on digitzing team where they had 3 screens. New question. that I could not find a workaround is the scroll bar of the image pane where if you decide to scroll all the way to get to the top of the page you end up landing on the previous page instead of remaining in the current page, is there a workaround?

@@TheAccessibilityGuy okay, thanks for the tips. I'll have to use the trial to see the final file size per page before I shell out for the full version. I'm want to do a lot of magazines.
@@liameneuk If file size is the only concern, then yeah - go with acrobat. If you care about language recognition, zoning, and professional OCR capabilities - then go with ABBYY.
Vectorise the fonts? There's no smaller vector than ASCII. As for scanned images, djvu is the king in file size, in encoding speed, and in decoding speed. I've managed to encode several 300-page books scanned at 600 dpi at just over 1 MB a piece (yes, that's correct, one megabyte, it's not an error). Pdf is crap at everything, but somehow it's the most popular format out there.
How is this program with handwrtitten notes ? Appreciate response since i am thinking about digitalizing my university notes which is a dauting tedious task.
It will do handwritten notes if you have incredible handwriting. Handwritten notes are tricky though, you might be better off sending them off to someone for a transcription service or something.
Why you say "gonna" so much? Not unerstand that words - not in dictionry. Make hard for student try learn proper EN.
Sorry about that! I'm not teaching EN in this video. Gonna means "going to"

HI!! Thanks for sharing!!
In ABBYY 16, do you know - where is this 'cut area print' on the table selection?
I couldn´t find it... :)
Hey Jordison. One question- My abbyy finereader suddenly recognising text area in black box instead green. How to solve this
I'm honestly not sure how to change that
To how many threads does software scale to? Any discernible difference with more threads?
I'm not sure whAt you meab

Its pretty good honestly. It supports a ton of languages.
Just using it with an old Chinese (with some Czech words inside) PDF book, actually, not even very well scanned, and results are pretty impressive. Much much better than the competition (I tested also with the newest Readiris software). This is the software you should get.
i was surprised with how many languages it supported, i found a copy here for a great price! www.ebay.com/itm/312651323457
hello?

Hmm. Not that I'm aware of. You can export to a word document and perhaps delete the spacing.
Does it (or future versions of it) support handwritten documentation?
We have a lot of handwritten pages for recognition.
It really depends on the quality of the handwritten pieces. You are able to rekey any parts that it does not OCR properly.
@@TheAccessibilityGuy That also makes sense. Anyhow they need to be proof read. 👍

Yes it does.
how to split the 3 panes in 3 separate screens/monitors?
Hey there Rami! I believe these settings are found by going to the "view" panel. You should be able to choose the different panels from there.
@@TheAccessibilityGuy The three panels are entrapped in one window. I want to detach them from each other and place each panel in a separate monitor. I have two external monitor plus the laptop monitor
@@ramidaoud3776 okay I understand. I'm not sure that you can actually split the windows apart like that. Or at Least i've never done it that way
@@ramidaoud3776 It looks like you can drag the window if its not in full screen - but they cannot be detached by themselves

I still don't get it!
me too
What do you not get? Do you need help on something specific?
Hey Jordison, Thanks for the video. Small question- How to avoid that Span Tag created for each object?
Unfortunately - it always creates those pesky span tags.
can it extract punjabi text? please tell
Unfortunately, that language is not supported at this time for OCR.
@@TheAccessibilityGuy sadge
Thank you sir!
You are totally welcome
How about final file size for that page? Should be quite a bit smaller?
It really depends on your settings for the export. It can be much much bigger if the right settings are not set
@@TheAccessibilityGuy So what were your settings and resulting file size in this demonstration. Just trying to get an idea. Thanks!

Adobe Acrobat is still the king here. They have a mode that vectorize the fonts, hugely reducing the file size.
You can reduce the size regardless in adobe acrobat. ABBYY is king at OCR and language recognition.
@@TheAccessibilityGuy Not s small as acrobat could do at the same sharpness.
