Hmmm. I've not tried OCR in Linux, but from my experience of programs on other platforms (no, not Windows :-) that looks like it's caused by the input bitmap being wrong in some way. Does gocr require a specific bit depth, or resolution/font size? If it was a greyscale image, was the contrast between the letters and background high enough? If 1-bit, was there any background noise? The thing I've found is that the bitmap that you feed the OCR program needs to be as high quality as possible, and that it matches the specified resolution/font size of the program. I never auto-OCR because I often get better results by checking the bitmap before feeding it to the OCR engine, and it saves wasted time when there's something wrong.
