Intrigued by the title Apr 1, 2014

I prepare a document for translation by opening it, and sometimes printing it. Is there more?

OCR for Greek Apr 2, 2014

Hello Anna,

Does the software you use in your presentation apply to Greek characters? I often find that the recognition rate for Greek texts is not very high. Thank you.

A little. The main purpose here will be to show how to obtain editable version of image or pfd document and how to save some parts of documents for further use with preserved graphics and layout.

Hello,
the most recent version of Abby FineReader supports Greek, there is also a separate patch for this language BUT I cannot tell you whether it works properly because I do not understand a single word in Greek so I'm not sure whether it spoils text or not. It would be a good idea to check out the trial.

A Late Start? Apr 3, 2014

Anna,

I've tried logging onto the webinar at 17 minutes past, but it seems we are still waiting on the organizer to join. Are any others experiencing the same issue?

Great class, but it should be 2 hours long. Apr 8, 2014

I am happy I took this class. Thank you for putting it together, Ana! What a great idea to save some text to Excel and then sort, and also I did not know what macros were before. My suggestion is that the class be 2 hours long, not just one, and that you take that first document with the strange image and process it from start to finish in the first hour, and spend the second hour on the macros and uploading the document into the CAT. It was a lot of information for just one hour.
