What is an OCR file?

OCR files mostly belong to Subtitle Workshop by URUWorks. An OCR file contains a script created by Subtitle Workshop movie subtitle editor. The OCR script contains key-value pairs and regular expressions which Subtitle Workshop uses to find and replace errors in subtitle documents generated using optical character recognition technology. Another type of OCR file is an index which ORBIT GIS framework uses to access resources and assets internally. OCR is also the filename extension of a transcribed text document which FAX Grabber optical character recognition software has generated from a fax document. This fax format is obsolete.

How to open OCR files

You need a suitable software like Subtitle Workshop to open an OCR file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your OCR file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a OCR file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
