It will also work with GOCR to do OCR, but leave the text embedded in the document (not shown) so it can be searched, but when a human looks at it they see the scanned image.
Is there any way for an end-user to see the text version? That would be important for people who want to copy/paste from some document they've searched for (and found).
Someday I'm going to start digitizing and OCR-ing the 100 years of local newspapers which are gathering mold in the library basement. I really have no firm plan as to how I'm going to do it, but doing it with free software would be a big plus.
