Yan,
I am curious what kind of image files you mean that contain east Asian
characters, surely an image has no characters in it but just pixels? Or
do you mean the filenames?

Is the best thing since sliced bread for me. Among other things it can

Hi again Yan,
There's this one:

Yan, not sure how it handles east Asian characters, but imagemagick will create
PDFs, e.g.,
convert FILE.jpg FILE.pdf
See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php for more info.

Hello,
Do you know an OCR engine for Persian/Dari ? If so, what is the accurate
rate?
Thanks,
Yan
Hello,
Do you know a tool running under Linux to make PDFs from images? I use
Adobe Acrobat professional in Windows to create PDFs from image files.
However, Acrobat does not handle image files with east Asian characters.

I'm with Christian - I loved Abbyy FineReader when I used it at both
my previous libraries. It's very accurate and it's affordable if

server contract because like Christian said - it is quite expensive.

Hi,
It wasn't a recommendation since I never try it, but I've heard a lot of
good about tesseract. It was currently developed by Google, but I don't know
if they use it.
Some link :
