Since Iâm currently working on extracting hardcoded subtitles from some video

Check that there's no teletext/videotext/closed captioning first - you
don't need OCR in that case.
I've yet to use any open source OCR package that has been less effort
than rekeying -- commercial OCR software is workable though. I don't
know if the abby finereader API is available for Linux; there are
others, if not.
