Back when I first got access to the university scientific publication network, I started to get hungry for an OCR tool to do bibliographies and references, here's the result with tesseract: http://heybryan.org/shots/2008-03-24-autoscholar-OCR-notgood.png I should have recorded the specific commands, citation, and so on, so this now squarely falls under 'anecdotal' instead of being useful to anybody. Sorry. But clearly that's pretty terrible. - Bryan http://heybryan.org/ 1 512 203 0507 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
