Question

I'm currently looking for an OCR in C# and try :

  • Tessnet2 (Tesseract)
  • MODI

I saw that MODI was not present anymore in OFFICE 2010 (It was in OFFICE 2003 & 2007)

I just want to know if Microsoft did not depreciate it and if it is still maintained?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The page here from the Microsoft site:

Changes in Word 2010 (for ITPros)

states clearly it's deprecated since Office 2010:

"MODI provided a common document imaging and scanning solution for Office. It was also the basis of the Fax feature for Office. When MODI was installed, it was the default handler for .tif, .tiff, and .mdi files. In Office 2010, MODI is fully deprecated. This change also affects the setup tree, which no longer shows the MODI Help, OCR, or Indexing Service Filter nodes on the Tools menu. The Internet Fax feature in Office 2010 uses the Windows Fax printer driver to generate a fixed file format (TIF). MODI and all its components are deprecated for 64-bit Office 2010."
