Fredal's Dictionary
FD is, very simply, a small, concise English Language Dictionary (American). It is a reincarnation of the JORJ Shareware dictionary (Jorj Software Co. mid-90s) - which was a TSR/DOS program and also the original Phonetic Dictionary.Because of this unique design, the look-up engine is capable of handling most misspelled requests, as theytend to be phonetically spelled. Fredal's Dictionary is a 'must-have' desktop reference for Users of all ages and spelling ability.The program is very intuitive and easy to use andfor that reason, the only instructions provided are the notes included in the program itself. These notes can be viewed from the 'About' box which is accessed from the menu displayed when the Title bar Icon is clicked. The menu is also displayed by right-clicking the Title bar itself. I view this product as a 'work-in-progress' and intend to provide up-grades on a fairly regular basis.Try it, I know you will like it!...George Fredal [Report a dead link]

SimpleOCR
OCR program. Wocar v2.5 Not happy with the OCR software that came bundled with your scanner? Wocar is a nice freeware 32-bit alternative. It takes your scanned documents and transfers them into editable rich text. It works with both English or French languages. Once you've completed the scan, your document can be edited in the program's built-in WordPad-like editor. Options let you extract fonts and images, highlight possible errors, remove noise from the scanned document, and add words to both dictionaries. (Was called WOCAR http://ccambien.free.fr/wocar/.)

This is a more complex program, which is good. After converting to text it spell checks the document and lets you decide what a misspelled word really is. After a while it will recognize similar errors and automatically fix them for you. But it takes time to learn this. So the first few times using this takes more time, but then text recognition becomes faster. [Report a dead link]
