I am looking for applications that take an image file such as from a document scanner or decoded PDF and output ASCII text. My only other hope is that it works via command line. I know one of these days, my eleven-year-old OsCar system and HP scanner will bite the dust. The hardware to scan is tremendously cheaper and better these days, but I still need the OCR conversion engine to have similar functionality. Thank you.
