Re: [orca-list] Desktop OCR

[chrys linux-a11y org]

Howdy Ollie,

Ok, then i missunderstood your need. Sorry for that.
in this case you need OCRdesktop.
Importaint side note, it currently only works with tesseract 3 series  
and not yet with tesseract 4 (since the used python bindings break).

Sadly i m currently too bussy to wire this up. Always happy for help  
on that front ;).

for some additional info see here:

cheers chrys
