SimpleOCR utilizes Optical Character Recognition technology to convert your paper documents into electronic text that you can review and edit on Word or other applications.

Features:

  • Boasts a huge dictionary of over 120,000 words and a text editor that allows you to add new words with ease. The software recognizes text in multiple languages and over many formats  
  • Uses a despeckle option to reduce noise and increase overall accuracy. Also uses a text editor to highlight errors so that it is not necessary to spend time on tedious proofreading and correction of the documents. 
  • Has the ability to format multiple documents in batches, or to format a specific zone in the document that you want to highlight.
  • Can perform plain text extraction where it recognizes characters and words, but ignores the formatting so that you can make the document your own.
  • Has superior image retention which reduces the need to import your photos by another, more time-consuming means.
  • Format retention to capture things like font types and sizes, italics and underlining to give your document a high degree of accuracy.
  • The software is free of charge for all non-commercial uses

Simple OCR seems like useful software: it turns a scanned image into editable text. It says it's very accurate and customizable, works with the scanner you probably already have, and on top of that, it's free. I can see using this software for signing, scanning, and filling out school and medical forms, and then being able to email them.

Simple OCR seems like a high quality product that is free for individual users who want to turn paper documents into text documents. It appears to be an advanced text scanning software that can distinguish formatting, language and errors, as well as distinguish and remove any blemishes that may have been created during the scanning process.

The site leaves some confusion as to what the actual product/software is. It seems to require a decent knowledge of technology before using it. Unclear on how items are to be scanned into a computer, most software like this requires a scanner or phone of some sort. Also hard to see how data will be stored once scanned into your computer or their software, and how easy or hard it will be to retrieve said data
