PDF Text OCR Xtractor – An enhanced shell for the TESSERACT OCR Engine

OCR stands for optical character recognition. OCR is the technology that allows converting images into editable searchable text. PDF Text OCR Xtractor does precisely that: It converts PDF documents and photos of text into editable text. The software is an enhanced shell for the TESSERACT OCR Engine, the most advanced OCR engine on the market, with a long story in detail below in this article. The program creates an enhanced shell over the TESSERACT OCE engine because it intelligently scales up by a zoom factor the original image so that the document becomes better visible to the OCR engine, something other OCR software products do not perform. PDF OCR Text Xtractor reaches 96% accuracy, becoming a great application in its category.

Tesseract is an OCR engine used on different operating systems. The technology is free binding to the terms of the Apache License.

Tesseract is considered one of the most accurate OCR engines in existence.

Below are a couple of screenshots of the PDF OCR Text Xtractor user interface. Observe the screenshot at the right of the so-called zoom factor. It dramatically enhances the vision of the OCR engine, which in turn generates much more outstanding results than the competitors of the program on the market.

PDF Text OCR Xtractor supports PDF files giving it a greater purpose because PDF is distributed locked so that the text can only be read, not edited.

PDF Tet OCR Xtractor, as the name already says, supports PDF files. One of the purposes of PDF files is to be distributed locked so they can not be edited. This piece of software overcomes this security feature and can turn what you can only read into editable searchable text.

With the support of over twenty different languages, you can turn any locked PDF document into text that you can copy, paste, edit, and reassemble some other way. The program gives you incredible power. Note that the software also supports PNG files, JPG, GIF, BMP, and most image formats commonly known.
