Re: [hylafax-users] OCR suggestions

Was originally commerical ocr software from HP that was recently open
sourced by HP/Google.  Runs under Win32 an d Linux.

I wonder if it's possible to use a different compression for the tif
so that one can use tesseract.  Then one might have a way of routing
the incoming faxes to the right people by ocring the front sheet.
