Sane is not an application, it is a library, so I doubt you are using Sane directly. There are various applications that use Sane to scan. > If so I would be interested to know about them. Part of the Sane or libsane Ubuntu packages are xsane (GUI), scanimage, scanadf (both command-line) and xscanimage. I have a personal interest in gscan2pdf, which is a separate package. > This is especially true as I still have problems!! I installed the > gocr file (what is this??) and tried a scan and OCR again.

There are various others, e.g. tesseract or ocropus. None of them have anything to do with Sane, and therefore are off-topic here. To get decent OCR results, you need a decent scan - typically 300 or 400dpi. At what resolution are you scanning?
