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.I've used both gocr and tesseract on the same text. gocr has a gui,
Sorry, but gocr has no gui. I think, gocr-gui has: http://www.openbsd.org/4.2_packages/i386/gocr-gui-0.44.tgz-long.html
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
