So the other day I found myself in a situation where I wanted to start a book but it was in EPUB format. With flexibility, I mean it allows me to highlight, add notes and do a lot of other stuff that I can’t simply accomplish with the EPUB format.

I prefer the former thanks to its flexibility and software support.

And the other suggestion was a Linux based software and I'm sorry but if you have windows based software I would really appreciate it.That means I encounter different kinds of e-book formats, but usually it tends to be either PDF or EPUB. If you respond back asking why I didn't try Libreoffice or one of the other solutions offered I looked at those solutions and it did not appear to be more of an advantage above MS Word. I'm really wishing someone has some new ideas that universally work in a Windows environment. The advantage of having epub is that Google Play will read the text from an epub to me and I commute 2 hours a day to work so I like to have a book to read (listen to) while I'm driving.Īnyway, thank you again for your advice. I usually use Google Play reader or Kindle. I want epub because that typically maintains the right size depending on whatever reader I'm using. I have hundreds of somewhat rare books that are not in print anymore and I'm trying to preserve them. Is it going to be this hard for all my books? When I'm done I guess I will use Calibre or Sigil or something else to convert that document into an epub.
So i'm left with opening MS Word and cutting and pasting the text page by page into word, formatting it, fixing spelling errors and typos, etc. I can't seem to find a way to extract the text to any format. The problem is all ocr software I've tried other than Adobe basically converts the scanned images to pictures basically inserted into pdf pages or epub pages, or whatever format. I just want it to work therefore I use Windows with a few tweaks, but I just don't want to spend all my time learning commands I want to simply push a button and convert the pdf to epub.Ĭalibre has done this for me with other books but for some reason I can't get it to work with this particular book. I'm not a Linux user, I had Linux Ubuntu years ago but I really didn't like constantly hacking my computer to make it work. It kind of appears to be a hellava lot of work to create an epub because the text needs to be basically rebuilt, or rewritten into MS Word or some other word processor and then converted to an epub. Well, I thank you for all of your advice. I have never tried Djvu, EPUB, and don't know what FB2 is. Besides this output form, it can produce PDFs or Djvu files with the identical layout as the original, with or without the image of the original document. Besides that I flirt with the idea to acquire a contingent of pages for recognition of Fraktur (Gothic) script, once I have a project for that.įineReader keeps character formatting like italics or bold with output form "Free form text", and has also the option to keep line breaks. I hope that this year's "Black Friday" will bring another offer which I can't refuse. I got the version 6 "Sprint" as add on to an Epson flat bed scanner, and later upgraded to version 11, and still later bought version 12 with a "Black Friday" discount. Thanks for the clarification on Acrobat joining lines to paragraphs - but Acrobat would have to do guesswork. I guess that Abbyy FineReader or OmniPage may be more convenient tools, but I have only little experience with them.
page numbers which are useless in reflowable text). gImageReader has function of rectangular selection of specific area of Image which is OCR-ed (it may be applied to multiple pages at once) which is very useful for ridding off headings and footers (e.g. As a matter of fact any text formatting is lost (it saves plain text) but usually it takes less time to recreate text formatting from scratch than correcting formatting produced by Acrobat.

Personally I prefer tesseract (current 4.00 beta version) plus gImageReader frontend.
On the other hand I agree that there are better OCR programs than Acrobat. So usually no additional converting of line brakes into spaces is necessary (apart of typical OCR errors).

Newer versions of Acrobat Pro join lines into paragraphs and in general try to save layout of original documents (as I remember Acrobat 11 Pro does). It is better to use another OCR which does not keep the line breaks as Acrobat does, if the ultimate goal is an EPUB.

And don't forget to convert most line breaks into spaces, so that you have free flowing text for the Epub.
