Update: I installed it and ran it on an Ubuntu 12 box, but I got the same result. So it doesn't appear that anything is wrong with my environment. Is something wrong with my default settings? My image? Doesn't Google use tesseract to do OCR in Google Docs? I uploaded the same image to google docs and it translated it perfectly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
