Does anybody do OCR using software available in Fedora? 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.

I use gocr-0.45-2.fc9.i386

I think it comes from the fedora repo.
Tesseract is better:

yum install tesseract

Hi Joachim and Paul,
do gocr and tesseract have GUIs? 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.
