Hi
I have some troubles getting good results using gocr on some of the pics
that came in.
Strangely Chris from the FuzzyOCR Plugin was able to scan them correctly
but we didn't find out why there's so much of a difference
I'm using gocr-0.40-3 on SuSE 10.1 and netpbm-10.26.12-5.4 (for giftopnm)
Here's the pic in question as original gif (I joined the parts to make
it easier for gocr):

and converted to pnm:

And here's what gocr -i ocrmail.pnm spits out in my case:

Chris was able to recognize WAY more... I suspect it has something to do
with the background color - I found similiar gifs with colourful
backgrounds of which i was able to ocr some and others not at all like
this one....
Do you have any hints as of why I get such poor results on that one?
What can I try? Perhaps some params? I already tried playing with the
grey level and dust_size params of gocr but didn't get any close to
Chris's results
Thanks!
Matt
