- I am wondering if anyone can me what the status of Japanese OCR is.
-
- I understand that there are palmtops that are supposed to read handwritten
- Japanese characters. Are these accurate?
-
- Does this mean that there is a substantial amount of accurate OCR software
- available that could be used to convert fax files, gif files, etc into
- Japanese text?
-
- It is not uncommon for fax cards sold in the U.S. to include some sort
- of OCR software that recognizes English. Do fax cards sold in Japan come
- bundled with Japanese OCR software, or will they be in the future?
-
- Thanks much for any pointers or info.
