Which ones do you use? How do you use them? I saw an article about OCRopus [1] and how great app it is but there is no ocropus in fedora currently.

How are you using them? Do you get formated text or just plain text file? Do gocr and tesseract recognise colums? Is it possible to get formated OpenOffice Writer document that matches the original scanned page? I read the article I posed the link to about OCRopus and it seams that uses tesseract but it somehow improved. Cheers, Valent.
Hi Valent,gocr is ia simple CLI which reads from a file containing text as graphics and writes only plain text to stdout.
It has no features such as the WIN$ ocr tools. -- Joachim Backes <joachim.backes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
