Matrox OCR: Rapidly read evenly-spaced characters
The OCR tool utilizes a template matching method to very quickly read text with a known number of evenly spaced characters.
- Reads text strings with a consistent character size even if the strings themselves are at an angle
- Reads characters with one of the provided OCR-A, OCR-B, MICR CMC-7, MICR E-13B, SEMI M12-92 and SEMI M13-88 fonts or a user-defined font
