Ocrad is an optical character recognition program and part of the GNU Project. It is free software licensed under the GNU GPL.
Based on a feature extraction method, it reads images in portable pixmap formats known as Portable anymap and produces text in byte (8-bit) or UTF-8 formats. Also included is a layout analyser, able to separate the columns or blocks of text normally found on printed pages.
