1 OSRA: Optical Structure Recognition Application
2
3 OSRA is a utility designed to convert graphical representations of chemical
4 structures, as they appear in journal articles, patent documents, textbooks,
5 trade magazines etc., into SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry
6 Specification - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMILES) or
7 SD files - a computer recognizable molecular structure format.
8 OSRA can read a document in any of the over 90 graphical formats parseable by
9 ImageMagick - including GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PDF, PS etc., and generate
10 the SMILES or SDF representation of the molecular structure images encountered
11 within that document.

13 Note that any software designed for optical recognition is unlikely to be
14 perfect, and the output produced might, and probably will, contain errors,
15 so curation by a human knowledgeable in chemical structures is highly recommended.
