I have been trying to setup scanning for OCR and have successfully installed XSane Image Scanner and also both tesseract-ocr and gocr for the OCR side of thinks.
Gocr seems to have been the default OCR Command in the XSane setup and I have had no trouble scanning in Viewer Mode and then going straight to OCR using the PNG file output from the scanner. As these results are not the best and tesseract is highly recommended I tried to use this from the Terminal. After some problems with the *.tiff/*.tif file extension I found that tesseract had no problems processing the file. Now I want to know how to set up XSane -> Preferences -> Setup -> OCR with the correct OCR Command and the other inputs to that dialog in order to use tesseract directly from the Viewer Mode. Can some guru out there help me with this please? Thanks in advance... -- Mike
