- Teachable character recognition for the most reliable and fastest recognition
- Invariant to character size
- Tolerant to poorly printed, broken characters
- "Connected" characters separation
- Pre-defined fonts included
Description
EasyOCR is a font-dependent printed character reader based on a template matching algorithm. It has been designed to read any kind of short text (part numbers, serial numbers, expiry dates, manufacturing dates, lot codes, …) printed on labels or directly on parts.
Training
EasyOCR requires training the font to be recognized. It is able to learn from sample images all possible characters to be read. This makes the recognition extremely flexible, fast and reliable. The training phase involves an interactive application used to show samples of the characters and allow the library to learn and store them in a font file. Moreover, EasyOCR provides the means for you to write your own, custom, font editor. EasyOCR also comes with three standard pre-learnt font files for the standard OCR-A, OCR-B and Semi fonts.
Other Benefits
Neo Licensing System
Neo is the new Licensing System. It is reliable, state-of-the-art, and is now available to store Open eVision and eGrabber licenses. Neo allows you to choose where to activate your licenses, either on a Neo Dongle or in a Neo Software Container. You buy a license, you decide later.
Neo Dongles offer a sturdy hardware and provide the flexibility to be transferred from a computer to another. Neo Software Containers do not need any dedicated hardware, and instead are linked to the computer on which they have been activated.
Neo ships with its own, dedicated Neo License Manager which comes in two flavours: an intuitive, easy to use, Graphical User Interface and a Command Line Interface that allows for easy automation of Neo licensing procedures.
All Open eVision Libraries For Windows And Linux
- Microsoft Windows 11, 10 for x86-64 (64-bit) processor architecture
- Microsoft Windows 11, 10 IoT Enterprise on x86_64 systems
- Linux for x86-64 (64-bit) and ARMv8-A (64-bit) processor architectures with a glibc version greater or equal to 2.18
Open eVision Studio
Open eVision Studio is the evaluation, prototyping and development tool of Open eVision.
Its intuitive graphical user interface allows you to call and immediately see the result of any of eVision’s 2D image processing functions. A scripting functionality generates the corresponding code, which can then be copied and pasted into your application.
Open eVision Studio is free (when using Open eVision 2.0 and above) and does not require any license.
