Feb 11, 2017 at 1:16 comment added Kodiologist @MartinThoma Tesseract is probably the best free (libre) OCR software, and I think it can cope with tables. I don't know if it supports German.
Feb 10, 2017 at 23:03 comment added Martin Thoma @Kodiologist: I guess so, too. But also the second image doesn't work at all (tables).
Feb 10, 2017 at 21:32 comment added Kodiologist Recognizing hand-written mathematical notation is a very difficult problem, and I doubt any software currently exists to do it accurately.
Feb 10, 2017 at 21:10 comment added Izzy I've not found anything perfect yet either. But in the repositories, you also find Cuneiform and Tesseract which you could give a try. I had slightly better results with Cuneiform, but that might well depend on the source used. The hand-written stuff you'll probably have to "OCR by hand and eyes", unfortunately. // Oh: I confirm your results on GOCR and ocrfeeder. Wasn't satisfied by them at all. And a hint for better results: Make the images bigger. Really helps, even if only "upscaled".
