InftyReader is an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application that recognizes and translates scientific documents (including math symbols) into LaTeX, MathML and XHTML!
InftyReader can recognize tables including math expressions in the cells so long as the ruled lines are not broken.
InftyReader recognizes and translates print documents. It is capable, believe it or not, to perform the following conversions:
BMP images into LaTeX files;
BMP images into MathML files;
GIF images into LaTeX files;
GIF images into MathML files;
PDF iles into LaTeX files;
PDF images into MathML files;
PNG images into LaTeX files;
PNG images into MathML files;
TIFF images into LaTeX files;
TIFF images into MathML files;
InftyReader incorporates the use of three OCR engines. The first is InftyReader's own OCR engine which has been designed to recognize scientific and mathematical symbols in formulae. The second and third OCR engines are from the Toshiba Corporation (ExpressReaderPro) and MediaDrive Corporation (WinReader). The ExpressReaderPro and WinReader OCR engines operate simultaneously in order to improve the recognition results of characters appearing in ordinary text areas.
Please Note: InftyReader does not convert PDF files containing gray-scale or color images. Once, again, InftyReader can only process black and white images (binary images). Original PDF documents must contain high resolution 600 Dots per inch (DPI) scanned images in order for InftyReader to work effectively. Web-based PDF files often contain low resolution images (<300 DPI) in order to reduce download and load times. In such cases, the recognition results will be useless.
2. Minimum System Requirements top
Windows XP SP2;
500 MB (or more) system memory;
Internet Explorer Version 6 or greater;
Please note: InftyReader does not run on Windows 98, Me, 2000, nor has it been certified to run under the Vista operating system... yet. We are working on it!
3. Download our Demonstrations top
Our InftyReader demo package contains three, separate, files all of which need to be downloaded and installed into the same folder. The package includes:
InftyReader: Fully-functional 15 day demo (47MB download)
ChattyInfty: Fully-functional 15 day demo (5MB download)
InftyEditor: Free application! (5MB download)
InftyReader Markup Language (IML) is the default XML file format of InftyEditor, which is an authoring tool for math documents. InftyEditor provides a user-friendly interface to input and edit math expressions together with ordinary texts.
The English edition of InftyEditor is free software.
In XHTML format, mathematical expressions are output using MathML notation.
HR-TeX is a simplified LaTeX-like notation designed to be easier to read, especially for individuals who are blind.
InftyEditor was designed to correct and edit the recognition results from InftyReader.
Important note: InftyReader only recognizes Black and White, Binary images scanned at 600 DPI. Scanning documents at 400 DPI is possible. However, the accuracy of the results will not be as accurate as documents scanned at 600 DPI. InftyReader does not scan or convert gray scale, or color, image areas. Image files have to be prepared in either a TIFF, GIF, PNG, or BMP format.
6. Guidelines for maximizing the effectiveness of InftyReader top
All source documents must be clearly printed.
All images need to be "binary" images of, preferably, 600 DPI. Scanning documents at 400 DPI is possible. However, the accuracy of the results will not be as good as documents scanned at 600 DPI.
InftyReader eliminates noise (smudges, pencil marks, some highlights, etc.) so long as they are minor and do not cover any of the text being scanned.
To get better recognition results, users are encouraged to delete all markings from documents before OCR'ing them with InftyReader.
Adjust the binarization threshold of the scanner you are using so that the number of the touched or broken characters are less than 1% of the total number of the characters in each scanned page image. If this is not done the accuracy of the results will be negatively impacted.
Select file(s) or folder.
Input/select output document name
Select your options
Press the "Start" button.
The results of the OCR'd image files are saved to the file specified in the "output document name" field. When you select a folder instead of a files, all the image files in the folder of the specified file type (TIF/GIF/PNG/BMP/PDF) are recognized. The results are then output as files having the name(s) of the folders.
