Cheers, Hi Dennis,

I do not have a PPA for OCRFeeder but there are more updated packages on more recent versions of Ubuntu as listed here:

I don’t use Ubuntu so I don’t really know what the best alternative for you.

Cheers,

The current release of ocrfeeder on my Ubuntu distro (10.04 LTS) is 0.6.6, and I could use the upgraded capability to distinguish columns from each other. Joaquim,

Can you elaborate on the page breaks? Each image you import into OCRFeeder represents a page in the generated document. Cheers, Hi John,

You can fully use manual outlining of content since the first release of OCRFeeder.

Can you elaborate on the page breaks? Each image you import into OCRFeeder represents a page in the generated document.

Tue, 29 Mar 2011 20:00:52 +0000 http://www.joaquimrocha.com/?p=486#comment-4676 Hey Mr. Rocha - It's been a while since I last tried OCRFeeder - maybe just under a year. You may have already included it now, but I can't remember an option to fully manually zone/box the areas of the scanned image to OCR, bypassing any automatic layout recognition. Also, for the output (.odt), are there options for each scanned page's OCR output to be marked off by page breaks? If these options are absent, do you have any interest in providing them, or could you email me and tell me who I could pester for that? My coding capacity is very, very limited. I remember it being a solid performer for standard academic layouts, but it couldn't handle the intensely goofy (like TV-in-a-book) undergrad textbooks that I convert. Manual zoning is necessary for such oddly formatted pages... Excellent work, looking forward to trying the new version, and keep on with this splendid project! I thank you on behalf of many for not going proprietary on us! Hey Mr. Rocha –

It's a shame some people try to bring down one's work (even more when it's based in false assumptions) instead of realizing that it's a useful tool and it's Free Software. Anyway, I try to focus on positive, constructive critics ;) Thank you Tomáš.
