Interesting. What's happening with the dictionary?

The same stuff mentioned in "Import dictionary in Finereader" a few months ago?

I'm still back on Finereader 12.

Tesseract is the best free/open-source OCR there is.

If you are on Linux (which OP is) and/or can't afford the expensive/proprietary (Finereader)... then it would have to do.

There are a few GUI frontends for Tesseract too. And while it won't be as nice as Finereader's side-by-side, you can get some comparison between original<->OCR.

But yeah, I mostly agree with avoiding bundled software. Like I mentioned, I bet "Brother's OCR program" is just a heavily outdated version of Tesseract.
