2006 ocr update


Pengyou

Recommended Posts

I just did a search on this website and also in google of the web at large and did not find anything that was helpful or conclusive re: ocr software in 2006. Can someone provide some definitive information? I would love to be able to scan an article, import it into a spreadsheet (1 character per cell), sort and then delete the duplicated words and look up the words I don't know.

Any ideas?

...(1 character per cell), sort and then delete the duplicated words and look up the words I don't know.

I can't help with the ocr part, but once you get the text, you can just paste it into adsotrans advanced/ vocab. This will generate a vocabulary list without duplicates. Also, your sort will split up 2-character words which would leave you high and dry.

Thanks! If I use the adsotrans how many words at most can I put into the site to generate a vocab list? Is there an offline version of this software?

Also...I cannot read Chinese yet. Is there some english version of the urls referred to in the last e-mail?

Thanks for your help!

You'd best do a google search for an English version.

As for offline dictionary/vocab builder, see

Best of Chinese Study Tools

# Dimsum (provides pop-up definition for both websites and offline texts; uses Java, should run on PC/Mac/and more)

# NJStar (mainly a word processor, but version 5.0 also has a teaching mode which provides pop-up definitions and automated vocabulary list generator; demo version is fully functional, but need to pay for registration for all features, including the full dictionary)

Varies browser to browser. If you want to process a larger document, put it online somewhere and put the URL in the box on the advanced page. As long as it begins with "http://" the software will recognize that you are giving it a remote webpage and process it accordingly.

There is a limit to the size of files that Adso will parse when handling remote URLs, but the bar is set pretty high.
