Henrik,
I have been looking for some sort of alternative for Kurzweil/Openbook on
Linux for a while in our research center. I looked into that software about
3 months ago and it worked fairly well. For typed text it had about 95%
accuracy. I was still trying to determine how I could then use the OCR'd
software in conjunction with an AT tool to offer people with learning
disabilities something like Kurzweil. Have you seen any development on
this?
The OCR software actually integrates nicely with XSANE. I was able to get a
txt file very quickly with my Epson scanner. I did not see a way to convert
it into a pdf or open document with the text already converted. It looked
like all I could do was a txt file.
I suspect compiling and having a very basic script hook the software into
xsane should be able to do it for the .deb file.
Thanks,
Jason Grieves
There was recently a discussion about OCR and the limited options
available. Seems people are starting to play with the stuff the
HP/Google released, with good results.
So, how do we get this packaged in Ubuntu?
Henrik
