In the hunt for added capabilities for indexing and search, VideoSpace is happy to announce that we are currently looking into adding Video OCR (optical character recognition) technology as part of our enterprise offering.

Video OCR, is a lot more advanced than mere OCR in documents and even images, because it has to go through each individual frame of video.

For VideoSpace, this means that we are looking into the possibilities to incorporate 2 state-of-the-art technologies and techniques to enable search - Video Indexing and Video OCR.

As for today, the Video OCR engine that we are experimenting with can recognize and support the following languages:

Arabic
Chinese Simplified
Chinese Traditional
Czech
Danish
Dutch
English
Finnish
French
German
Greek
Hungarian
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Norwegian
Polish
Portuguese
Romanian
Russian
Serbian Cyrillic
Serbian Latin
Slovak
Spanish
Swedish
Turkish
