There's one from Google that may be slightly better, tesseract, as it's based on what was originally proprietary code written in the 1980s. http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/ > > I don't know if the abby finereader API is available for Linux; > > Seems like[2]: > > > ABBYY FineReader SDKs […] provide developers with an Application > > Programming > > Interface (API) for integrating the functionality of ABBYY FineReader into > > applications built for Windows or Linux platforms. yes. > [2] http://www.abbyy.com/for_developers/ If you have some samples I can run them through Abby FineReader and also gocr (and maybe tesseract) if it is of use to you.
