Hi
In synaptic you have gocr, clara. ocrad (and probably some more)

A good article here: http://groundstate.ca/ocr

There are some OCR programs in Synaptics - take a look

[hsoltau]

thank you both Husse and Nick,

that was easy :
i installed gocr via synaptic and kooka now finds the binary and can use it

thanks for the quick help
have a nice day

There must be something wrong with the forum. Nick posted almost an hour before me, but when I posted I saw this as unaswered...

Not really Husse, it's because I post faster than light hence the time difference, now back to my Tardis

For OCR I can suggest this cool sw (not in synaptic repo yet , must install from the URL):
YAGF -> http://symmetrica.net/cuneiform-linux/yagf-en.html
Enjoy

Good news for those who cannot compile YAGF source stuff - get the .deb file and run
