Description:
ocrodjvu is a wrapper around OCRopus with the purpose to perform
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in documents in DjVu format
(which is especially suited for archival of books with high quality).
.
When a DjVu document has been OCR'ed, it includes a text version of
the images of the scanned document and, with common programs, one can
not only print on paper, but also read such books/documents, searching
for specific terms and also use the information in the OCR layer as a
way to higher the accessibility of such documents.
----
Really, Jakub's program is a must have for those that need to store old
documents in an open digital format.
Regards, Rogério Brito.
