Hello List, Is there an accessible OCR program with Orca? I tried to put text on my screen from a scanner. My system contains Ubuntu 8.04.1 and Orca 2.23.6. I tried in OpenOffice to import from the scanner but it only import the text as an image.
Ubuntu comes with no OCR. You might try out Tesseract, but it is a text based program, and it needs sane and sane-utils installed. Teh configuration cannot be described in general, because it depends on your scanner. Note: The results cannot compete with those of sophisticated Windows OCRs, such as Finereader or Omnipage.
