Talk:Intelligent character recognition

What is RIA?
I am puzzled about the term RIA in the sentence "Intelligent word recognition (IWR) can recognize and extract RIA ..." . RIA is not explained, and a brief search on google is not clarifying either. It should either be explained or removed. jengeldk (talk) 19:54, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Where To Get Source Code?
Q. Where can I find free source code for OCR or ICR?

I tried this SW. This software source at this point in time (early November 2006) is distributed in MS Windows & MAC portable source code form targeted to the freely available Bloodshed DevC++ v4.9.x IDE that comes packaged with the MingW Win32 port of the gnu g++ compiler.

Since I'm on the MS Windows platform, these are the instructions:

To try it too, download the zip of the latest version (links are about 60% down the page). Expand the stihrs zip archive so that the C++ source ends up in a folder named C:\stihrs

After you download and install the DevC++ SW, the .ide file type is associated to DevC++ software. The C:\stihrs\stihrs.ide is the DevC++ project file for the software. After opening the stihrs.ide project file with DevC++ IDE, activate the build project function. stihrs.exe should result from the build operation.

Many GUI features and I/O functions, including a help function, are TBD, so read the stihrs site's feature request list of TBD items, and any included text documentation files. In mid October 2006, the two developers were working on more portable code and were targeting the MAC environment at that time. Oldspammer 07:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
