Editor Methods
Image Editor Methods
Cut
Removes the currently selected region from the image The removed section is
copied to the system clip-board
Copy
Copies the currently selected region from the image to the clip-board
Paste
Pastes the current contents of the clipboard into the image
Scale
Increase/Decrease the actual size of the image through the use of interpolation
Zoom
A magnifying effect, allowing the user to view the image in more/less detail
Rotate
Changes the orientation of the image in 90 degree increments
Select/Deselect All
Selects/Deselects the entire area of the image
Undo
Returns the image to it's state before the most recent change The current
implementation is a single level, wrapping undo It is only valid for a subset
of the Image Editor methods
Text Editor Methods
Cut
Removes the currently selected characters from the text The removed section is
copied to the system clip-board
Copy
Copies the currently selected characters from the text to the clip-board
Paste
Pastes the current contents of the clipboard into the text
Select/Deselect All
Selects/Deselects the entire body of the text
Undo
Returns the text to it's state before the most recent change The current
implementation is a single level, wrapping undo It is only valid for a subset
of the Text Editor methods
OCR Methods
OCR Image
Passes the currently loaded image to GOCR and reads the results into the text
editor, overwriting any current contents
OCR on selection
Passes the selected region of the currently loaded image to GOCR and reads the
results into the text editor, overwriting any current contents If no region is
selected then no results will be displayed
OCR Configuration
See GOCR Configuration

Notes on JPEG support JPEG is not currently supported for several reasons
First, it is a lossy format which is particularly ill suited to OCR
applications Second, the current legal fight surrounding the format and patent
claims by Forgent Networks and the possible licensing issues which may ensue
Finally, the possible withdrawl of the ISO/IEC 10918-1 standard Until the
resolution of these issues becomes more clear, JPEG support is unlikely

Welcome to GOAT GOAT is a composite program combining three primary features
to streamline the process converting document images to text
These features are
A lite image editor
A simple text editor
A graphical interface to GOCR(a k a JOCR), the Gnu Optical Character
Recognition program
The Image Editor
The Image Editor can import and export many different bitmap formats Several
editing methods are supported; such as cut, copy, paste, scale and rotate
The Text Editor
The Text Editor supports several text formats It's function and methods are
similar to that of the "E" editor
The GOCR Interface
Enables users to quickly and easily change the configuration of GOCR's
properties and gives access to two different methods of scanning
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.4. GOCR Configuration ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
GOCR Configuration
The GOCR configuration panel provides direct access to most of GOCR's settings
It can be used in two different manners, passively or actively When used
passively it functions like a standard configuration window Options can be
changed, saved and the panel closed The saved options will be effective for
all future scans Passive mode is best used when optimal scanning options have
already been selected and similar documents are being scanned When used in
acitve mode, the configuration panel is left open when scanning The currently
selected options will be those used in the scan, overriding any saved options
These options do not need to be saved while the configuration window is opened
Active mode is best used when ajusting options for optimal configuration and
when scanning dissimilar documents
Save
Saves the current options for all future sessions The saved options are
overriden by the displayed options when the configuration panel is open
Default
Resets all current options to the defaults as specified by GOCR
Exit
Closes the configuration panel Current options are not saved
Help
Provides specific information for each configuration option
