Asian, CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) OCR
Why do I need OCR?
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that converts typed, handwritten, or printed text from scanned documents and images into editable, searchable machine-readable data. Without OCR, a scanner simply takes a digital photograph of a page. Because the text in a standard image cannot be searched, copied, or modified, the data remains locked. OCR software solves this by analyzing the shapes of characters in an image and translating them into actual text that other software applications can read and process.
There is a wide variety of OCR software available. While they all share the ability to convert images of machine printed (not handwritten) text or numbers into an editable format, the various software often have different features, accuracy, prices, and language options.
Asian OCR, which is the ability to convert some combination of East Asian characters to editable formats, is becoming more mainstream. Asian OCR was first introduced by ABBYY FineReader. All versions of FineReader include support for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Thai characters. The latest versions of ReadIRIS and Kofax OmniPage include support for Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean character recognition in their base packages.
ABBBY also offer Asian OCR options in their enterprise server OCR solutions, FineReader Server .
Tagalog (Filipino) speaking companies have an advantage of larger variety of OCR options. ABBYY FineReader, Kofax OmniPage, and IRIS ReadIRIS are your options for Tagalog OCR (Filipino OCR), giving a good choice fitting your size and document volume needs.
Northern Asia is known for having plenty of unique languages. OCR market for this region is dominated by ABBYY. If you are looking for Buryat OCR (Bargu-Buryat OCR), Yakut OCR (Sakha OCR), Tuvinian OCR, Tatar OCR, Bashkir OCR, Altaic OCR, Nenets (Yurak) OCR, Selkup OCR, Mari OCR, Mordvin OCR, Udmurt OCR, Khanty (Ostyak) OCR, Mansi (Vogul) OCR, Chukchee (Chuuk) OCR, and Koryak OCR then FineReader Pro and FineReader Corp are your only choices.
Mongol documents can be processed by ABBYY and IRIS OCR products. Unfortunately, only Cyrillic based Mongol scripts are supported. ABBYY FineReader and IRIS ReadIRIS are your main options of Mongol OCR.
A bit different situation is with North European languages from Uralic group, like Finnish (Suomi) or Estonian (Eesti). ABBYY FineReader, IRIS ReadIRIS and Kofax OmniPage are all supporting them. And you have much larger choices of Finnish OCR (Suomi OCR) and Estonian OCR (Eesti OCR).
