Pkg-Description: Optical Structure Recognition Application
 OSRA is a utility designed to convert graphical representations of
 chemical structures, as they appear in journal articles, patent
 documents, textbooks, trade magazines etc., into SMILES (Simplified
 Molecular Input Line Entry Specification - see
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMILES) or SD files - a computer
 recognizable molecular structure format. OSRA can read a document in any
 of the over 90 graphical formats parseable by ImageMagick - including
 GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PDF, PS etc., and generate the SMILES or SDF
 representation of the molecular structure images encountered within that
 document.
 . 
 Note that any software designed for optical recognition is unlikely to
 be perfect, and the output produced might, and probably will, contain
 errors, so curation by a human knowledgeable in chemical structures is
 highly recommended.
