Now if only I could find an OCR on 'buntu or mac that worked as well as ABBYY.
EDIT: Or find someone online whose sharing the book (a lot of what I'm scanning there's no chance of that) and download from them as above poster stated |
On linux, I find that tesseract OCR works pretty well, provided that your using TIF files as input and the resolution is high/low enough (for some old yellow paper backs, a lower resolution results in better output).
