Windows is only one of the platforms that Tesseract supports, that's why. It's not 'free' - you have to buy Windows to get it and be able to use it. Last time I checked, Windows was pretty expensive (not that price has anything to do with my not using Windows. It's a truly awful operating system). -- <Leftmost> jimregan, that's because deep inside you, you are evil. <Leftmost> Also not-so-deep inside you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
