I have tried to install ocrad. It installs, gives me a launch button, but nothing happens when I click it. I used to use xsane, which seems to have stopped working. It's all a mystery, and horribly inconvenient.
This list is for bugs in ocrad itself. We can't help you with the installation procedures of your distribution (Linux mint, it seems). I advise you to seek help through the help channels of your distribution.
Best regards, Antonio.
