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.

Hebrew OCR, which gives an ability to convert Hebrew scripts to editable formats, is a relatively new option that many OCR software still do not support it out of the box. ReadIRIS was the first major OCR application to offer support for Hebrew optical character recognition on the PC platform. More recently, ABBYY FineReader has introduced an option for Hebrew OCR in version 11. ABBYY FineReader Server had separate language pack to add Hebrew OCR option. But since April of 2020 Hebrew language pack is included in ABBYY FineReader Server .

ABBYY also offer Hebrew OCR options in their enterprise server OCR solutions, and FineReader Server. In this cases support for Hebrew OCR is optional, so when purchasing be sure to select the correct version. The links below will take you directly to versions that support Hebrew OCR. Lighter versions of IRIS ReadIRIS like ReadIRIS PDF or ReadIRIS PDF for Mac do not support Hebrew scripts.

Yiddish texts require Yiddish vocabularies for OCR to work. And Abbyy is your only choice as Yiddish OCR. ABBYY FineReader or ABBYY FineReader for Mac are your best choices to work with Yiddish texts.

Kodak Alaris OCR products can work with Arabic, Hebrew, and Farsi characters on the PC platform and offer decent solutions.
