OCR

[Debian TR <debiantr.wordpress@googlemail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a good ocr software. A quick internet search showed
that there are several softwares such as OCRad, tesseract, etc.. and if
I didn't get it wrong, tesseract is one of the best softwares (maybe the
best one)

however, in the repos (sid-squeeze) an older version of it is available
(2.x). Someone who is using tesseract can tell me what I should do?
Shall I compile the new version or is it not worth the trouble? Or is
there another ocr software I should try?

thanks in advance,
Eren
