First release of ScanTailor OCR: ScanTailor Advanced 1.2.1 plus export to compact, searchable PDF.

Highlights

  • PDF export ("File → Create PDF ..."): choose and order the pages; black and white pages stored losslessly as JBIG2, mixed pages with split output in layers (text over a small JPEG picture).
  • Text recognition (OCR) with Tesseract: an invisible text layer makes the PDF searchable. German and English are included; more languages can be downloaded in the program.
  • Many fixes and improvements to ScanTailor Advanced 1.2.1 – see the README for the full list.

Downloads

  • Windows (64-bit, portable): ScanTailor-OCR-1.0.0-win64.zip – unpack and start scantailor-ocr.exe. No installation needed.

  • Linux: .deb (Ubuntu/Debian) and AppImage – built automatically and untested.

Settings, profiles and OCR languages of ScanTailor Advanced (scantailor-advanced) are copied over on the first start. Projects (.ScanTailor) remain compatible.
