TopOCR = top OCR

It annoys me that oracle lock their PDF documents so that I cannot cut and paste their wisdom into my documents.  So, I get pissed off and I start to type the paragraph and then I think “there must be a better no cost alternative to this”…  Any I find one!

www.topocr.com

They’ve put a neat little package together which will do optical character recognition from jpg’s etc.  What a beauty…  I downloaded it (8mb) and tested it…  ripper.

Works, no popups.

I cannot paste an entire printscreen, it craps out immediately… But if I cut them up in paint and then paste them into the window, it works like a charm.  Just keep pasting and it keeps OCR’ing.
