Hello Ben,

I am looking for OCR for Linux too. I've tried xocr several times,
but got no usefull text out of it.
There is a commercial one for X at www.vividata.com and they mailed
me last that soon they have a command-line version. I have no idea
what the price will be.
If someone knows a freeware one, please let us know.

     Regards,

         Jos.
