Thanks, installed and looked at the man page, can this package actually read from my scanner? Or must I scan an image from the scanner and then read the image in to gocr and pipe to a text file?

From what I remember from the last time I looked at it, it's a typical
Unix program and only does one thing. :) So you'd need to create an image (probably with scanimage from sane) and then pipe it to gocr.

Oh ok. So what format must the scanned image be in and what do I do with gocr to extract the text?

thanks,
