Since you already have slint, you have a good ocr tool called lios. Look for it in your Graphics menu. The ocr part is actually done by the program called Teseract. The other parts of LIOS take care of controling your scanner and giving you presentation options. I've used LIOS for reading documents that are actually images, as well as scanner output. If you learn emacspeak, you'll find that it, too, has scanner and ocr capabilities. Again, I think Teseract does the heavy lifting.
