greetings,
I am preparing to attempt optical character recognition in linux. I consulted
apt-cache and determined that my distribution of Ubuntu offers gocr, ocrad and
tesseract (there are a couple other OCR engines that refer to KDE, but I
ignored them). I am also awair of ocropus, but that would require compilation
from source.
In looking at the documentation for the three OCR engines, ocrad claims to
provide a layout analyzer for column formatting. Does this mean that I can
scan two pages of a book simaltanious (by laying it flat across the scanner)
and ocrad will put the content of the right-hand page after that of the left?
If this is not the case, are there any programs available for linux that can
seperate double-page scans?
thank you:-)
