I believe it is a scanned image now that I realize it has a
handwritten signature.
Xsane does ocr. I tried scanning a printed copy and letting
xsane save it as a text message as well as trying gocr to read
an xsane .pnm file. Both produced the same output which looks
like it would require a lot of work to be usable if it is
possible at all?
I will do without the Google translation.
Thanks for all the suggestions. This has been interesting, I
always wondered about ocr, what it could do. I need to
experiment with a document in English so that I have something I
understand however it looks like the output quality is poor?
