OCR on linux

[Willem van der Walt]

Good day,
I wrote a front-end to ocropus/tesseract which is available as part of the 
Kies menu system which is released under gpl3.
If your scanner is set up and working through sane, this front-end alow 
for getting the text from the paper into an html document.
See the README in the wrapper scripts directory for moere detail.
Kies can be downloaded from the speakup ftp site under the goodies 
directory.
HTH, Willem
