Anyone know of any OCR software that -actually- works? I've tried gocr and ocrad and neither one produces -any- readable output.

I've used ocrad with a reasonable amount of success - you need to feed it the highest resolution monochrome image you can, but the errors it makes are systematic so you can generally search and replace to sort out the bulk of the text.

One more quick question, does anyone know what the file .kturnedon refers to. Mine only has contents false.

Thanks,
