OCR, Optical Character Recognition, is a form of technology which helps in converting scanned or handwritten documents into data that is computer readable, editable and searchable. Nitro OCR or Nitro Pro OCR, is an option available as part of the Nitro Pro PDF converter. Apart from helping you convert a scanned image to an editable document, the Nitro PDF OCR also helps you with multiple options to correct the skewness of the image, smoothening of colors, quality of the recognition and image compression factor. The biggest drawback with Nitro PDF Pro OCR is their inability to handle large documents and this has been often reported along with the fact that it takes a lot of time to convert larger documents.
Like every major PDF converter, Nitro PDF Pro OCR also enables the user to make an image editable and searchable. However, there have been many instances reported on the OCR functionality crashing by customers across the globe. There have been quite an amount of research into this area and three reasons were identified to be the major cause for this crash in Nitro PDF OCR.
Reason 1: When the language in which the content is written is not recognized by the Nitro Pro or it involves a large quantity of symbols, then there is a possibility of a crash or an illegible format of the converted document.
Reason 2: Scanning image quality is another major reason for the OCR to not work to its optimal level. The text needs to be clearer and sharp for the OCR to work properly and to provide you with an optimal output. Without a clear text or sharper outline, the image that you will receive as output will either be garbled or the OCR may crash in the process.
Reason 3: A major reason that has been identified for the crash of OCR in Nitro Pro OCR is its inability to handle larger documents. When the document size is larger, then the OCR seem to simply crash not being able to handle the volume.
