Easily OCR images, barcodes, forms, documents with machine readable zones, e.g. passports, right from R. Get the results in a wide variety of formats, from text files to detailed XMLs with information about bounding boxes, etc.

The package provides access to the [Abbyy Cloud OCR SDK API](http://ocrsdk.com/). Details about results of calls to the API can be [found here](http://ocrsdk.com/documentation/specifications/status-codes/).

### Installation

To get the latest version on CRAN:

```r

install.packages("abbyyR")

```

To get the current development version from GitHub:

```r

# install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("soodoku/abbyyR", build_vignettes = TRUE)

```

### Using abbyyR

To get acquainted with some of the important functions, read the vignettes:

```r

# Overview of the package

vignette("introduction", package = "abbyyR")

# some functions are used along with output

vignette("example", package = "abbyyR")

# how to scrape text from a folder of images

vignette("wiscads", package = "abbyyR")

```

The final output quality varies by complexity of the layout to resolution to font face etc. To measure the final quality of ocr, you can measure the edit distance to `gold standard' coded sample using [recognize](https://github.com/soodoku/recognize). To do quick edit distance based search and replace to fix messy data, you can use [turbo search and replace](https://github.com/soodoku/search-and-replace).
