Review

Rescribe is designed for performing OCR on image files, PDFs and Google Books;
You can select a folder, PDF file, or Google king for performing OCR;
You can also select a language/script for performing OCR (additional information below);
Rescribe uses Tesseract OCR engine, combined with modern and efficient preprocessing and analysis pipelines, to produce high quality output;
The tool has been built with a focus on OCR of historical printed works, but it includes modern language options and also works well on modern printed works.

The Rescribe OCR tool includes several different languages and scripts, but there are many more freely available which can be downloaded and used with it – link: https://rescribe.xyz/rescribe/trainings.html.

To use one of the below files, download it onto your computer, then click on the “Other…” option in the “Language / Script” box in Rescribe. Then you can find and select the file you downloaded.
