USER REVIEWS AND COMMENTS

Emily Morris

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.

Thomas

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.

Luke

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

My first impression is that it looks professional. I like how the moment you get onto the website there is a little red box that pops up, great for catching attention. Great software and use of logo

I find the SimpleOCR for Windows software useful in my working operations as it provides an accurate text read whenever I have multiple layouts, non-standard fonts, and poor quality or color images. Besides, the software has greatly proven useful in avoiding retyping my documents whenever I document the in-purchase records. I would profoundly recommend the software to any corporate user in the field.

SimpleOCR has been very helpful, especially when it comes to my office job or other, more casual matters. It saves a bunch of time and keeps me away from the trouble of retyping documents, as it made converting paperwork into the digital format much faster and easier. It always gives it an accurate read, including the images or other non-standard features, even though the documents can be in less than perfect condition. It helps that this software is free of charge, so in my opinion, everyone should give it a try.                        

Hunter

SimpleOCR is exactly that, simple to use and user friendly. Very easy to convert scanned documents into easy to manage, secure digital formats. This software is 100% free and helps to avoid unnecessary typing. All I needed was a scanner! One setback is for documents with individual columns but further programs are provided on further inspection. Overall I got on very well with SimpleOCR and it was very straightforward to use.

SimpleOCR is an entry-level optical character recognition program for windows.  Its useful for people who want to scan documents without having to go through the trouble of retyping every word.  The software serves the function of going through a scanned document and giving you the full text to save you time.  Being that this version is freeware, the creators offer a paid version for more difficult to read or poorly scanned images.
