RE[2]: Gnome scanning and faxing

in reply to "RE: Gnome scanning and faxing"
gscan2pdf is especially nice because it integrates google's tesseract ocr programme (also available in the Debian and Ubuntu repositories). tesseract is free software and together with gscan2pdf for the first time allows for relatively well working text recognition from scanned pages. (the only other free OCR programme, gocr being essentially useless)

GNOME is working on http://live.gnome.org/GnomeScan to get an integrated infrastructure, but things like gscan2pdf and gimp are working. Also gfax has been arround for a long time, but haven't checked it for a while.
