1. INTRODUCTION
===============

Welcome to SolidRoc v12.00.08 port for OS/2 and eComStation.

SolidROC application uses Tesseract (Optical Character Recognition application) 
to extract the text inside images.

These images can be loaded from your hard disk, a network directory or scanned by your scanner.

You can define the areas of the image on which you want to apply OCR and hide others. 
For better analysis, image scale, orientation and contrast can be modified.

SolidROC can also extract text from PDF documents.

The resulting text can be sent to the SolidROC spell checker, which has dictionaries in French, 
English and Italian.

SolidROC uses libraries Sane and Poppler, and Tesseract OCR engine. It is developed in Qt v4.xx.
