I downloaded ABBYY FineRead, hoping it can easily convert my scanned pdf files into word or some sort. But it turned out I need to have the extended package support ifor Chinese lanuage recognisation.....and the extended package is only supplied to company users by ABBYY. obviously I am not a company user. Anyone has any suggestions? or any other tools complying with Chinese? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I can really really recommend this solution. I just checked out the trial version and it works fine with pdfs created in the Japanese language. As I noticed this software also supports Chinese. (You can just download from their site and use for several pages and then decide whether it is convenient for you) http://www.solidpdf.com/ Have a try...it ...

I finally sorted it out yesterday using a chinese tool for the scanned pdf recognition. I tried those two tools recommended by Katrin and Mulyadi first but turned out they were not working for the scanned files. Anyway, thanks for both of you. | |

What a pity, Rachel... | Apr 12, 2007 |
Sorry for not being helpful but of course it does not work with pdfs which have not been converted from a standard text file (e.g. Word...). I also tried a pdf file the other day which finally turned out originally being a bmp file converted into pdf. In that case I guess no converting tool is able to retrieve any information out of a picture file because all relating information data gets lost during the processes. In those cases probably only a good OCR-software is fi...

In that case I guess no converting tool is able to retrieve any information out of a picture file because all relating information data gets lost during the processes. In those cases probably only a good OCR-software is finally helpful in order to prevent you from typing a document manually for a translation process with Trados and other tools. I just found one for Japanese characters ("YONDE! Koko") and have in mind to buy very soon. I am sure there must be a similar one for Chinese characters. Actually it is the same fonts' nature. I would try asking the customer whether they could not send you an original text file. If I face any troubles with those "originally produced" files I can also use my Japanese OS + Office and fix any compatibility problems in most cases. But not every agency is aware of these possibilities - depending on their general experience with Chinese/Japanese fonts. Nevertheless - Good luck for your project Katrin

Hi all, The sticking pont seems to be finding an OCR program that has all these features: - can OCR a flattened PDF, or unlayered image file like JPG, TIFF - preferably comes with a western UI (for easy handling by non-chinese users) - is available unbundled for individual users at a reasonable price Search the forum for previous suggestions. The concensus seems to be that the best OCR for Chinese is Hanwang. But I still don't know if it has any Eng...

The concensus seems to be that the best OCR for Chinese is Hanwang. But I still don't know if it has any English UI! Product page here (it seems that it's now available standalone too, not just bundled): http://www.hanwang.com.cn/english/products0303.asp Mentioned here: http://www.proz.com/post/343923#343923 "Hanwang (汉王), Shangshu (尚书) and 清华紫光 are top ones in the industry. Where Hanwang is bundled solely with Hanwang Scanners, whereas Shangshu is not scanner-dependant, but sold as a bundle with Microtek series. 清华紫光s are for Qinghua series. Amongst them I like Hanwang best. Their website: Hanwang: http://www.hw99.com/ Shangshu is also part of Hanwang, with limited features."
