What does TracTrix do with text, symbols – Optical Character Recognition (OCR) ?

From our experience, text on engineering drawings, especially numerals and angled text, is very difficult to capture adequately with conventional OCR technology. Hand drawn letters and numerals often look alike and are very difficult for the eye to discern. For example, we find that the hand drawn ‘B’ and ‘8’ are quite frequently mistranslated, a poorly formed capital letter ‘G’ is often mistranslated as a ‘6’ and vice versa. Text at any significant angle to the normal axes is missed entirely. Post OCR editing time to find and correct the things that were missed or worse, erroneously translated, often takes longer than keying in all the text. The comments for text apply equally to symbols. TracTrix has a unique text recognition technology. When initiated it searches for text regions and isolates them from the drawing line work itself. The text recognition in TracTrix will either convert the identified text regions to CAD characters by its built in OCR or allow you to ‘train’ it to reco
