[Fwd: OCRFeeder v0.3 Released]

[Willie Walker]

FYI.  I've not looked at this yet, but I thought I'd pass the
announcement on.  If it's not usable with Orca, we should try to get
them feedback.

Hi folks,

I'd like to let you know that I released the 0.3 version of OCRFeeder.

What is OCRFeeder
===============

OCRFeeder is a document layout analysis and optical character recognition system.

===========

* A setup.py script that makes installation easier
* Zoom fit option to the zoom options and its usage when an image is loaded
* German translation (thanks to Renard Voß)
* Code improvements
* Better integration of the Tesseract OCR engine
* Better desktop integration by using an application icon and desktop file
* Updated instructions in the README file
* Corrected a few issues in the OCR engines manager dialog
* Corrected engine name access
* Fixed project being cleared whether a new project is successfully loaded or not
* Correct actions availability depending on the existence of images

Where can you get it
================

* You can get this version's tarball from:

I'll try to get this packaged for Ubuntu, and hosted somewhere. I know I could certainly do with a good OCR frontend, so will be happy to do testing with this and Orca.

Your options are:

OCROpus
http://ocropus.googlecode.com/

Cuneiform
https://launchpad.net/cuneiform-linux

OCROPus relies on Tesseract:
http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/

They're all very much under development at the moment, therefore stability is
not to be expected.

I haven't tried any of these as I don't have an optical scanner.

There may be other projects as well.
