Hi Keith and list :)

'gocr' is the one I've used. It was for scanning some PDF's, but it does
seem to work well on images. It came from the ubuntu repositories with
an 'apt-get install gocr'.  Sourceforge page is:

http://jocr.sourceforge.net/

NOT

http://gocr.sourceforge.net/


as you'd expect.

Cheers
Paul
