Based on a feature extraction method, it reads images in portable pixmap formats known as Portable anymap and produces text in byte (8-bit) or UTF-8 formats. Also included is a layout analyser, able to separate the columns or blocks of text normally found on printed pages.
Kooka, which was the KDE environment's default scanning application until KDE 4, can use Ocrad as its OCR engine.[2] Since conversion to newer Qt versions, current versions of KDE no longer contain Kooka; development continues in the KDE git repository.[3] Ocrad can be also used as an OCR engine in OCRFeeder.[4]
