You may not know it but Google along with Google Docs offers free OCR for the Greek language as well.
Alternatives to the free online OCR solution that we presented to you here, are also Google's online services.
If you are far from the computer σας και τα αρχεία σας, δοκιμάστε τις OCR δυνατότητες του Google Drive. Συνδεθείτε με τον λογαριασμός σας στο Google, ώστε να έχετε πρόσβαση στο Google Drive και εργαστείτε απρόσκοπτα με το ενσωματωμένο πρόγραμμα OCR που διαθέτουν τα Έγγραφα Google και που μπορεί να αναγνωρίσει κείμενο από αρχεία JPEG, PNG, GIF και PDF. Αλλά όλα τα αρχεία πρέπει να είναι 2 MB ή λιγότερο και το κείμενο πρέπει να είναι 10 pixel ή μεγαλύτερο.
Google Drive can also automatically detect the language in scanned files, although the accuracy with non-Latin characters may not be high enough. Let's go see her procedure:
Step 1: Sign in to your Google Drive account.
Step 2: Click New> Upload Files. Alternatively, you can also click My Drive> Upload Files.
Step 3: Browse to the files on your computer, highlight the file(s) you want to convert from PDF or image to text and click button Open to upload the file.
Step 4: The document is now in your Google Drive. Right-click the document and click Open with> Google Docs.
Google will automatically convert your PDF file or image to OCR text and open it in a new Google Document.
The text is editable and you can correct the parts where the OCR failed to read them correctly.
Step 5: You can download the finished document in the multiple formats that Google Drive supports. Choose from menu File > Download As.
So simple!!
It just doesn't work. It does not select the phone at least by right-clicking on documents.
It works great, you just don't know how to use it. And it's incredible with Greek, ages ahead of other finereader-type solutions. Well, I won't even talk about ocr in Microsoft products. Rubbish like most Microsoft products.
