Abstract

Thematic issue devoted to OCR software containing 14 articles. Defines OCR. Covers surveys of technology, using them to illustrate OCR development. Distinguishes between floor- standing, desktop and handheld devices. Discusses OCR and libraries, OCR implementations, system requirements, installation, user interfaces, scanning, output options, recognition, documentation and pricing. The reviews cover programs for IBM compatible microcomputers and are grouped as Omnifont OCR prrograms. Trainable OCR programs and OCR programs intended for use with handheld scanners. Compares the accuracy rates of selected nontrainable omnifont OCR prgrams
