I've used both gocr and tesseract on the same text. gocr has a gui, tesseract is only command line. I've used both tools on various tiff files. There is a good writeup on the net, forget where on using tesseract on ubuntu. I got much better text recognition with tesseract from the same original scanned text. Never tried ocropus. gustav -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
