retypar converts photos, drawings etc. into text. The result can be saved as text (.txt, .ans), HTML (.html) or as an image (.jpg). You can influence the conversion by altering certain options (font, font size, scale factor, colour etc.).

Changelog of retypar - a tool to convert images into ASCII by Jens Heuser 0.9.4 - preview now only for GIF and JPEG, choose ASCII formats when saving - added text video export to GUI, still no playback though... - added out-of-memory warning - improved, fixed and extended batch mode - added preview field for selected font and size - added popup menu to quickly perform operations - path of last opened image is stored in .ini - re-enabled preview component when opening images (fully working but still out of memory exceptions) - re-enabled and fixed update module - fixed minor glitch in multi language module - added ugly 'about' window - re-structured components to fit in a 1024 * 768 window (this is now minimum resolution) - errors that occured in the core now pop up in the GUI - added spanish translation - added GIF export (with optional transparency) - fixed crash because of empty .ini file - introduced command line switch '-p' to set transparency 0.9.3 - added ANSI export (including SAUCE) - disabled previewer in open-file-dialogue due to a severe memory issue - added slider to adjust brightness, contrast and saturation (or the like...) before conversion - fixed bug that prevented retypar from loading algorithms on a linux machine - width and height of converted image are displayed next to its size - the auto update module is temporarily disabled (check sf.net for updates) 0.9.2 - created API to extend retypar with external algorithms - added a button to get some info about the selected algorithm - added "Options" button to set look and feel, enable / disable update module, remove algorithms and view the changelog - changed values in "Options" get stored immediately in an .ini file (separate from .jar file) - renamed command line switch '-m' to '-x' ('Export result as...') - added command line switch '-e' to list all installed algorithms - if System.getProperty("user.language") returns one of de, fr or it the corresponding translation is used. otherwise english. 0.9.1 - renamed project to 'retypar', was 'jITAC - Java image to ASCII converter'. that name was already in use by another developer... - added preview component to open file dialog - added french to available translations (now german, english, french, italian) 0.9 - added algorithm "Noise", old algorithm now called "M rules". both available, "Noise" features a magic threshold value! 0.8.7 - fixed problems with language module 0.8.6 - background color now choosable and taken into account when computing character colors - result of JPEG compression now live viewable - image size in kilobyte of original and converted image is shown. useful when altering JPEG compression. - niced up and extended batch mode 0.8.5 - introduced batch mode - all installed fonts available for rendering - font size changeable - creation of text videos (.txv, version 1) introduced. currently no playback though... - GUI now exits, if screen resolution below 800 x 600 - many minor fixes and additions pre 0.8.5 - integration of packages heuser.updater, heuser.multilang, heuser.simpleLogger - no more changelog available...
