Hey, right on, as people the rock, and I suck, cause I haven't written anything. However, my brutal opinion is that the quality of GOCR sucks, and it's useless, and the closed source absolutely hands down wins the "OCR wars". This says it all for me: http://www.gutenberg.net/faq/S-17.shtml Check out Scan 2, "Typical Scan", and the quality of the output of GOCR vs. the others. (Scan 1, "Perfect Scan", is perfect in all cases). Scan 2 looks like everything I've ever gotten out of gocr. If Gutenberg says it sucks, it sucks. Sad but true. Again, they rock and I suck. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
