I may be wrong but I think Project GNU has an OCR program and that google
made their OCR available as free software as well.  I have not tried either
nor have I even spent the time to confirm their existence but, if they do in
fact exist, they shouldn't be too hard to find.

cdh

I would disagree, I can do and do do everything on linux. I haven't 
touched a windows box in 12 months a part from having to use one at school 
the other day...

OCR and audio editing, well I believe there are options for audio editing 
and I think there is also a basic OCR package on linux-speakup.org 
somewhere...?
Just found this in apt... gocr is this a ocr package? Its cmd based...
Dunno, when I need to scan stuff I will look into this, but guys on the 
linux channels seem to thing there is some character recognition stuff on 
sourceforge.
