I tried out gocr with xsane. The scanning of a page of typewritten material was very efficient. But the ocr did not manage to recognize one word. It did not work. Just for comparison's sake I scanned and ocr'd the same page on Windows with an old edition of TextBridge I happened to have around and that was, if not flawless, acceptable. Is my gocr not setup properly or does it not work? Thanks, Richard
