+1 to adding new pages Well, most people don't automatically go to the wiki for info. But, if the pages are titled appropriately and the content is meaningful, it should be found by those searching on Google.
I have written a large bash script for Ubuntu that simplifies scanning and OCR for the blind, called speedy-ocr. It is part of the Vinux DVD distributions of Vinux (vinuxproject.org). It is in our Vinux repositories for Ubuntu Lucid, Maverick, Natty, Oneiric, and currently testing for Precise. The interface runs in gnome using just zenity dialogs, since the blind can't adjust the images. *Don Marang* Vinux Package Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> On 9/22/2012 5:55 AM, zdenko podobny wrote: > > On Fri, Aug 24, 2012 at 5:01 PM, Nick White <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Yesterday my partner asked me how to OCR PDF documents herself.
