It can handle both formatted and simple text. WordPad is preferred over Notepad for creating documents when it comes to formatting. With each release, Microsoft has added support for more file formats such as. RTF extension is used by both WordPad and Microsoft Word. This program has Title Bar, Menu Bar, Toolbar, Status Bar, Format Bar, Document Ruler and Selection Bar. Similar to other word processing applications, WordPad includes a program and a word processing engine. Still, it gives you tons of extra features, such as the ability to add images and format text.
In my opinion, the conversion accuracy of the Microsoft tools was considerably better than SimpleOCR.Microsoft WordPad is a rich text editor, which was first included by Microsoft in Microsoft Windows 95 and is available in all subsequent versions.Īlthough WordPad is capable of doing a lot more than Microsoft’s Notepad, it is not as advanced as Microsoft Word. SimpleOCR was fine with normal text, but its handling of multi-column layouts was a disappointment. The converted file can be saved to a DOC or TXT format. SimpleOCR offers some control over the conversion through text selection, image selection and text ignore features.Ĭonversion to text takes the process into a validation stage a user can correct discrepancies in the converted text using an in-built spell-checker. Set it up to read directly from a scanner or by adding a page (JPG, TIFF, BMP formats).
The software is clunky and looks outdated as it hasn't been updated since version 3.1, but you can still try it out for its simplicity. Machine print recognition though does not have any restrictions. But the software offers handwriting recognition only as a 14-day free trial. The problem I was having with handwriting recognition using Microsoft tools could have been solved by SimpleOCR.
