[nfbcs] Ocr for Mac

[Steve Jacobson]

Greg,

Is this software able to capture any formatting information?  I am not
saying it has to capture formatting, but I have noticed that there are a
number of apps and software solutions for OCR, and some do better at telling
us about the text that is captured than others.  There are situations when
we don't need to know anything about font size or if the information appears
to be tabular, but there are cases where this is important, and I am just
interested where Tessa fits into this picture.

Best regards,

Steve

Yes, Tessa (in the App store
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tessa-ocr/id997729654?mt=12) is inexpensive
(9.99 with a free version for English)

It supports an amazing array of langauges including some found no where else
like Charokee. The developer is very responsive to suggestions in particular
accessibility issue and will add them very quickly.

This is a basic OCR program and because of that it is remarkably accurate.
