This workshop introduces researchers to Optical Character Recognition (OCR). At the conclusion of the lesson you will understand how OCR software function and ways to improve OCR quality.
For this workshop, we will use two software: Adobe Acrobat and ABBYY FineReader 14.
Adobe Acrobat is available to all current Yale students, faculty, and staff through Adobe Creative Cloud; downloadable via Yale's Software Library. ABBYY FineReader is installed on select desktop machines across YUL, including 8 machines in the DHLab. Yale does not provide individual copies of ABBYY FineReader, but anyone can download a 30-Day free trial from ABBYY. {: .prereq}
