| 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. | |
| 12 | |
| 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. | |
