I am on the verge of having my scanner working, finally. I really don't know which of the scanning engines, gocr, tesarac, or any others, have the best results? But as important for me, which one, including any helpful scripts will make the process simpler? When I was in windows using OpenBook, it was as simple as hitting a space bar to scan. When I looked in google, I noticed some1 who was updating cunaform, also a script called zenity, also, speedy_ocr. Maybe these are not exact spellings or punctuation, but I suppose some of you know what I am looking for? As far as Socrates, I can still find commands which maybe did grab it in the past, but where if anywhere is their a straight download, which would work in Debian 2.632? Also, if there are repos I should include, please inform--and-thanks so much in advance Hart
