Hi Larry,
Again to be detailed, here is an answer from the freedos list. The
person sending this references recent software ports they have done.
Perhaps more work than you desire no idea.
enjoy,
Karen

Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] Dos ocr utility?
I found two ocr programs in my DOS software collection. Both shareware.
The first is OCRSHARE (ver 2.2 1990), the other is PRO-CR (1.04 1989).
Both are from Shareware (ftp) archives so they might be still available
somewhere. Don't know how usable those might be. Haven't tested them.
Several months ago, I did a quick DJGPP ports of GNU Ocrad and
GOCR. Didn't thoroughly test them, but quick tests were successfull
(english texts + default USA DOS codepage). If you're brave, you can
play with that. You'll need CWSDPMI to run any of those. The archives
don't contain the source code.

Cheers,
Bojan.

I was thinking that you might find an old version of Omnipage for DOS out
there somewhere. I remember that Project Gutenberg started using it
around 1995 or so. It might have been for Windows 3.1, but I don't think
so. I'm sure there are other commercial solutions for Linux as well. I
would guess many would be command line driven in Linux for batch jobs such
as large amounts of scanned documents. I know the Internet Archive uses
Finereader. Remember that even if you find a DOS solution, it won't have
great accuracy due to its age and the limited processing power available
in the DOS era.

It works well.
