UyghurOCR

A free program that reads the text in images and PDFs and turns it into editable text.

Features

  • Languages: Uyghur, English, Turkish, Chinese (Simplified) and Russian. You can choose several at once.
  • Reads images and PDFs, and all the files in a folder at once. Drag and drop and images on the clipboard work too.
  • You can select an area on the screen and read only that part.

New in 2.0

  • PDFs open directly, and Uyghur recognition is more accurate (it can read some handwriting).
