Hello Octavian and list,
I agree about ABBYY and I just learned that version 9 of ABBYY is available. There is a free 15 day download and it is reportedly 35 % more accurate than version 8. Sorry for the off topic message.
Dennis

Yes it could be, but until I hear that it it is at least as good as ABBYY Fine Reader, I don't bother to try it.

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.

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.
