This GNU Ocrad is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program based on a feature extraction method.
It reads a bitmap image in pbm format and produces text in byte (8-bit) or UTF-8 formats. Ocrad includes a layout analyser able to separate the columns or blocks of text normally found on printed pages.
Latest changes:
* License updated to GPL version 3 or later
* `--scale' no more suppresses ORF output
* Improved removal of thick frames
* Changed `Textline' to accept more than one big initial
* Class `Block' renamed to `Blob'
* `configure' and `Makefile.in' have been modified to be more GNU-standards compliant
