Um, thanks, but the issue I had with the programs is that I couldn't figure out how to install each package and configure them to work together. I've never used Linux before, and that was the problem. I never even made it to using either program.
So then, does no one have insider knowledge of OCR and how it works that I might be able to ask a few questions of for my report? Thanks...
