Excerpt from Project Naptha: | Excerpt from Project Naptha: | ||
The primary feature of Project Naptha is actually the text detection, rather than optical character recognition. The author write a text detection algorithm called Stroke Width Transform, invented by Microsoft Research in 2008, which is capable of identifying regions of text in a language-agnostic manner in WebWorker. Once a user begins to select some text, it scrambles to run character recognition algorithms in order to determine what exactly is being selected. The default OCR engine is a built-in pure-javascript port of the open source Ocrad OCR engine. There’s the option of sending the selected region over to a cloud based text recognition service powered by Tesseract, Google’s (formerly HP’s) award-winning open-source OCR engine which supports dozens of languages, and uses an advanced language model. | The primary feature of Project Naptha is actually the text detection, rather than optical character recognition.
