OCR for HP 8625

[mwasserm]

Hi,

I wanted to Scan some documents in hebrew and yiddish into my computer but I want it to be OCR'd in those languages as we I know this works for English, but does it work for Hebrew as well? How many languages does this support? Are there any updates that I need to update the language database of how it is OCR'd?

Thanks!

Welcome to HP Forums, 
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips. Thank you for posting your query. I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

To scan a document to editable text (Windows):

1. Load your original print-side down on the scanner glass or print-side up in the automatic document feeder.

   For more information, see Load the scanner or Load the document feeder.

2. Open the printer software. For more information, see Open the printer software (Windows).

3. Select Save as Editable Text (OCR), and click Scan.

   NOTE: 

   Click the More link in the top-right corner of the Scan dialog box to review and modify settings for any scan. 

In the scan settings, you should have an option to select the language. I am not sure if Hebrew and Yiddish are available as an option.

How can I add Hebrew and Yiddish languages? Is there a download?

Thank you for responding. I appreciate your time and efforts.

I see that the latest printer drivers does not have the language selection option.

Select the OCR option while scanning and scan. Refer to the image below.

Tips for OCR conversion:

1: Limit pages that contain underlining, forms, graphics, rotated text, photographs, and handwriting.

2: Scan images squarely.

3: Make sure the pages are free of extraneous marks.

4: Maximize the scanning resolution.

5: Use 300 dots per inch (dpi), black and white scanning.
