--- Quote from: sheep2001 on May 30, 2015, 11:57:09 AM ---Just google the first line in each language. 8 out of 10 times its already available. Oce is going to be ready hit and miss on those small fonts, especially with stuff in the background. --- End quote --- OCR This brings up a good point; what best practices does the cover designers use? I want to be able to have box text (be text) on it's own layer... I read a post that the person would "extract/build" each letter - Vector-ize each letter.. The two problems for me would be "FONTS" and "FOREIGN LANGUAGES, Symbols" I think vector-izing the fonts could be good along as the vector font matches the original source. With foreign languages/symbols it could be similar unless there are font packs available to match the original source. OCR - the smaller the text the more difficult like "sheep2001" mentioned in his post So what is the best practice when dealing with these issues? Thanks Again |

I’ve translated several manuals using this method. There are a handful of good websites that’ll do it for ya (JPG-to-TXT). I’ve yet to find type that was too small to be detected. It’s just a matter of having clean source material. |
