Hope this is the right place to ask.. I know that scanner can convert printed text to a text file so that we can edit the texts. Can it scan Japanese/Chinese characters too? also, is there any program/web to convert printed Japanese characters (scanned image) to text file?
You mean like a Japanese OCR program?
There was a recent update for the web version
It can now read vertical text (which is effing awesome)
Free Online OCR
very high level of accurate output
wow!i dont know that theres an online OCR.. thanks for the link!
i usually use Romaji Translator..if you can type kanji characters you can use it
@erleign
lol, they've been around while
but they usually only read horizontal texts
and because the online versions are free the accuracy level's not too great
all free stuff are that way *sighs*
BUT that link i gave works real well for something free
romaji translator...is that a desktop software or online program?
for translating i usually use google (translate to english and vietnamese and then compare)
i also have a dictionary with those free japanese dictionary files
and then there's the windows ime for kanji look-up
Not long ago I also want to do this and I found gImageReader which you can download dictionary to make it recognize any language you want. Good point is you don't need internet when you use it.
i have used image ocr scanner c# which turn image to text. this scanner will turn foreign language to the language you are using. it is amazing.
I like this free tool, wonderful.Quote:
