Hi! Does anybody know of an online OCR solution that would allow me to manually select text, table, and image areas? | | | Tina Vonhof (X) Canada Local time: 08:06 Dutch to English + ...

I meant selecting an area as in telling the OCR tool how to interpret a part of the source image—not as in copying and pasting content. I need that because heuristics used by OCR tools to autodetect content types fail more often than not. For example, images can be misinterpreted as text or tables, which makes the result useless. Examples of desktop tools that allow selecting OCR areas are ABBYY FineReader and ABBYY PDF Transformer (on Windows) and gOCRFeeder (on Linux). The latte...

Does not have the feature | Sep 28, 2015 |
Thanks, but this does not have the feature that I described and is Windows-only (not online). For Windows, I have already bought several commercial programs that cover this need.

I use certain PDF editor to leave only the part to be OCRed and apply OCR processes. It is quick and accurate for editing graphic and texts.

I searched OCR software recently and downloaded several for Windows and Mac, but could not find one that did what was promised on the description - and I couldn't find one online. The best that I know and worked with on a big project was ABBYY fine reader (also the only one that my CAT professor indicates and introduced to me). It selected and converted properly text, table and image areas. But I'm afraid there's no one like it available online.
