2/2 re #OCR

All three were set to #rotate and #deskew. None rotated the page that was sideways, but they all #deskewed pages that needed it. Kofax was the speediest of the bunch, then #OCRmyPDF not far behind and #Foxit was by far the slowest.

File size Foxit produced the smallest file size, #Kofax created files double the original. OCRmyPDF struggled here, ballooning the original size by at least 6 times larger.

1/2 re OCR

I got to do a fun test at work with #OCR. #Foxit Phantom with AbbyFineReader from 2013, #Kofax Power PDF from 2020 and #OCRmyPDF via #WSL with #Tesseract as the OCR engine.

The best results in OCR were from OCRmyPDF great results. Second was Kofax lagging was the over 10-year-old Foxit. OCRmyPDF did perform great and just picked up a few more characters, especially fuzzy scanned text, plus it got some handwritten text.

Beim #Brother ADS-1700W gibt's ja 'ne #KOFAX Power-PDF v3 Lizenz dazu. Da für den Mac ran zu kommen scheint schwieriger als den Passierschein A38 zu erhalten. Wehe, die Software ist nicht gut... das drumherum (Portale und so) sind schon mal die Hölle).
