ocrNow! is a secure web based OCR service for converting images to text using the powerful, award winning ABBYY FineReader Engine. Documents are returned in plain text, rich text or PDF formats. The ocrNow! iPhone application allows you to photograph pages with the iPhone's built in camera; anything from magazine articles to important documents.
The OCR conversion takes just a few minutes and the output (along with the original image) will be emailed to a
nominated address and stored on the server for you to view from your iPhone or email to other destinations.
Although some images can appear quite dark when viewed on the iPhone, ocrNow! enhances the contrast to improve the
quality of the conversion.
In order to ensure you get the best out of your purchase please follow these handy tips:
1) Try to line up the edges of what you are photographing with the edges of the photo.
2) Take the image in good
light, if it looks blurry on preview use the Retake button to take the image again.
3) For the first couple of
images select 'Yes' for Return image when submitting your images to ocrNow! With this selected you will see your photo
just as ocrNow! sees it. If you can’t read the text then ocrNow! will not be able to either.
For more detailed information on how to get the best image please visit ocrNow support.
This version of ocrNow! allows unlimited OCRing from your iPhone.
Results are improved with the new iPhone 3GS
