Anyone know of any OCR software that -actually- works? I've tried gocr and ocrad and neither one produces -any- readable output.
The program from what used to be called Caere, Omnipage, is wonderful. It runs in MS Windows; maybe it can be coaxed to run in one of the clone things that Linux has. It's not free--the basic version costs about $100, but it's worth it to have something that just _works_! It does columns, it is not fazed by scans that are a little off the absolute vertical, all the cheapies that come with scanners should be thrown in the trash can. This is the program you need. If you don't use Windows for anything else, this is a reason to do so. (I don't have any financial interest in the company.) --doug -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
