Re: [hylafax-users] OCR suggestions
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract-ocr
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.

There are several posts in the archive.
We use OCRAD. It also needs a conversion to pnm, for which one can use
tiff2pnm. I don't know about Tesseract.
