I'm new to Linux, specifically Xubuntu. I've progressed in Xsane at
least enough to be able to scan and perform other basic operations. I
can also produce PDF files out of the scanned images. This is not OCR,
however. I need to know how to get the OCR component of Xsane to
work--assuming it exists and that it's included in my package--and how
to output the result into a file. If there is a different Linux program
I should be using, please let me know.
<br></div></blockquote><div><br>FWIW; I use gscan2pdf[1], which have a couple of ocr programs "built in". I have never used these, but they are there.<br>HTH<br><br>References:<br>1) <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gscan2pdf">http://sourceforge.net/projects/gscan2pdf</a><br>
