Windows media forensics: text recognition
The Windows Photo has a simple optical character recognition engine. You can use the OCR feature to view text and its properties found in photos:
- File name of the image file
- Recognized word
- Word index on a text line
- Width of the word (in pixels)
- Word height
- Text angle
- Full path to the image file
A funny thing is that apart from the obvious usage, this feature can easily identify some kinds of watermarks in images.
