OCR Chinese, Korean and Japanese text

[Ace 0]

Hi,

The documentation suggests that OCR s available for Chinese etc. but under my OCR choose language in Nitro 11.0.3 there are no options for Chinese *simplified or traditional) Japanese or Korean.

Help, I need to OCR a Chinese document so I can get it translated.

I have the same problem too. There should be a method for users to add Chinese characters to IRIS OCR module.

Hello @tingchan@citiccapital.com @Ace,

Thank you for reaching out to us through our Community Forums!

At the moment, Nitro Pro only supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish and Brazilian Portuguese in OCR.

We're also working on supporting Simplified Chinese, Korean and Japanese languages but no ETA on when it will be available.

Thanks for choosing Nitro Pro and I hope this helps!

Hello,

Its been over 2 years since this suggestion. My post in the product improvement forum has had 0 replies.  It is imperative that you understand the world does not only deal in documents in English or other western non unicode languages.  NitroPDF is good but without language support it becomes an unusable product. I can't even save a file when dealing with non english text. Please highly consider support for unicode languages.

Without it I am unfortunately unable to renew my subscription.

Thank you.
