Yeah, I typed in a paragraph to one of my messages and decided to delete
it where I said I wish I had time to write a parallelized OCR program. I
wish I was rich enough to retire. There are a lot of things I want to
write.
One good thing about linux though, I have a scanner manufactured around
1995 or 1996. Someone just gave it to me for nothing because it wasn't
supported by Windows XP. The scanner came with a SCSI card you have to
put in your PC. Linux still supports both the SCSI card and the scanner
itself. The linux kernel still has a driver for the SCSI card and sane
still has a driver for the scanner. Incredible.

OK, thanks All for your suggestions-and-analysis. Some comments. With
Openbook I was accustomed to putting scanned materials vertical,
including books, where both a left-and-right page would be scanned.
Next, after spending lots of time examining:
www.abbyy.com
I cannot find a download for any Linux product. Sure I notice mentions
of these products, but no obvious place to grab a trial version or buy,
in Lynx.
And Dallas, earlier this week I tried scanning some mail, quite a
disaster-and-I rotated, flipped over maybe 8times.
So John, you are quite correct, that going back to 1994 when I scanned
my first book, I never had trouble like this, orrienting. I sure hope
if I can ever try Abbyy, it may be more intuative. Supposedly Vivadata
may have products for Linux?
Certainly, yes, a completely Linux scanning solution would seem to be
better.
And Dalls, sure Tesseract did well on those images, whether they were
1962 Gardian stories or for RapidShare, as they were from files-and-no
my `blindly holding an item on a glass.
And lastly, an unrelated question for Willum, anything new with your DAE
project?
Thanks in advance
Hart
