OCR with quality

[rengav]

Hi.

Does anybody use a software of quality of OCR for HP ?

I tried Tesseract, gocr, but, for portuguese, it did not please me. So, I decided to try the use of the Wine. I made tests with the Cuneiform. I obtained to make the installation, but did not have the recognition of scanner.
Research in the Internet, I found recommendation to modify the Face.ini archive, but did not find the specified text.

How I can use this hardware with its potential in linux (Kubuntu 8.04) ?

Thanks in advance

Tesseract

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract_%28software%29

is generally considered to be the best OCR software for Linux so if that does not produce acceptable results for you there may well be nothing that will. The Wiki page indicates it is limited to Brazilian Portuguese. Is that the issue here?

I know that when you try running software in wine, there are issues with USB. Certainly when I try to run TomTom Home in wine it can't detect the TomTom device.

If your work is not confidential then you might like to take a look at this

The accuracy (at least in English) I have found to be exceptional.
