[orca-list] OCR GUI?



Hi everyone
Well, I've had another look at Linux OCR and I must say I'm very
impressed. Tesseract in particular is loads better than when I tried it
over a year back, and imho good enough to use in almost all situations.
It's not failed me yet. At the moment, however, I do all my scanning and
OCR from the command-line. I don't mind this, but I'd like to set it up
for a friend of mine and that person would prefer a GUI. I have tried
gscan2pdf, but try as I might I cannot get it to produce any OCR output
no matter what settings I tell it to use. I thought perhaps the text
control where the OCR was displayed had some issues, but it turns out
that even when the PDF was saved and converted to text there's nothing.
Xsane works but is a bit more than what I want, and Simple-Scan doesn't
seem to support OCR or even changing the scanner's resolution and mode.
Can anyone recommend a nice OCR GUI? If there isn't one, I'll probably
just have to buckle down and make one.

Thanks
