    Highlight scanned PDF parts and OCR

    M.adaM

      The problem is:

      I have about 500 books scanned and I would need only the important parts.

      I have many books that is 4-500 pages and I would need only about 10 of them all together, but into various files.

       

      I have to highlight the required text otherwise I will never found it.

       

      I don't see any meaning to OCR all of the pages, since I need only 1% of the material. OCR takes ages on older PC, and the result needs a really powerful machine (if it is 300+ pages)

       

      Than I would need to make a new PDF that contains only the required part, so I can archive the original file and keep only the shrinked version.

       

      Could I highlight some parts some kind of way (with a tablet for example) and afterwards make the OCR on that selected parts only and error correction in another more powerful machine?

       

      It would be way better to have the possibility to highlight and OCR it "real time" then export it and than I can place it to the specific folder/file so it will be not only organized, but searchable as well.

       

      It saves a big bunch of time for the user (specially on an old PC) and also saves resources (power ect)

       

      Thank you in advance.
