What is FreeOCR?

FreeOCR is a free Optical Character Recognition tool for Windows that allows users to scan from most Twain scanners and open various formats, including scanned PDFs and multi-page TIFF images, along with popular image file types. It produces plain text and can export directly to Microsoft Word, featuring the powerful Tesseract (v3.01) OCR engine. With a user-friendly installer, FreeOCR provides seamless navigation and supports multi-page TIFFs, Adobe PDFs, fax documents, and numerous image formats, even those compressed TIFFs that the Tesseract engine struggles to process alone. The latest iteration, FreeOCR V4, integrates Tesseract V3, enhancing accuracy through improved page layout analysis for better results without needing the zone selection tool. Furthermore, it allows users to scan and save images in JPG format, and there are plans to implement a "Scan to PDF" feature that will include an option for creating searchable PDFs. This versatile software caters to both casual users and professionals who seek to enhance their document management efficiency while continuously evolving to meet user needs.
