The other stuff I've read said it is missing a text autostraightener.
"apt-cache search straighten" shows nothing.
I don't mean to gripe, but OCR accuracy went to >90% everywhere around
the time the 486 came out. I'm sure GOCR can be made to do equally as
good as all the rest, but autostraightening text seems like a pretty
darn important thing.
The docs don't help; what other tools did you use?
