Hello Chrys, ah, great news! I consider this awesome project to be a fundamental and absolutely critical part of Linux accessibility. Unfortunately, despite high efforts to make software as accessible as possible, there will be still many inaccessible applications on all platforms, for quite a some time. Therefore, an OCR solution for these cases is an absolute must have for all serious blind users, and I'd like to thank you that you're keeping this alive on Linux, along all the other great work you're doing. OCRDesktop can be insanely handy, I've used it in many areas from accessibility of normal Linux apps, through installing software using wine to firing up virtual machines, which would be impossible without an equipment like this. So again, thank you! Keep up the great job!
