Features Unlike file format converters that convert one file format to another, Image to OCR Converter can translate handwritten, typewritten and printed text into machine-readable format. OCR software inputs text in pixel format and converts it to non-pixel based, machine-readable, vector or text format. Image to OCR Converter also recognizes basic graphics shapes such as lines, tables and rectangles. As the input to an OCR software is in the form of pixels, OCR processing is highly susceptible and sensitive to noise in the input image. Noise in an input image can cause high variance in the output quality of the OCR software. Image to OCR provides despeckling and noise removal to increase the output quality. Image to OCR also provides auto-rotation and deskewing of the input image to correct the orientation of the input image.
