Kanji OCR (*nix, cli) - iSoron - 2011-05-29
This command line script takes a screenshot of a kanji and submits it to OCRGrid's single character recognition service. It works on *nix and requires ImageMagick and xsel.
Download:
http://isoron.org/stuff/japanese/kanji-ocr.sh
How to use:
1. Run the script: ./kanji-ocr.sh
2. Draw a box around the character you want to recognize
3. The best matches are displayed and copied into the clipboard
Hope someone finds it helpful!
[Here's an offline version, but you will also need O2-tools and NHocr]
