AboutGOCR is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program, developed under the GNU Public License. It converts scanned images of text back to text files. Joerg Schulenburg started the program, and now leads a team of developers.GOCR can be used with different front-ends, which makes it very easy to port to different OSes and architectures. It can open many different image formats, and its quality have been improving in a daily basis.GOCR or JOCR?The original name is GOCR. It's what is used internally in the sources. But, when registering the site at Sourceforge, gocr was already taken. So, it's kind of both. Yeah, we know.DownloadDownload the developer releases (below) for best results or before reporting bugs.GOCRSource code gocr-0.49.tar.gz 392kB, from ovgu.de 2010-09-24 (GPG-Signatur) gocr-0.48.tar.gz 360kB, from ovgu.de (GPG-Signatur) gocr-0.47.tar.gz 360kB, from sourceforge, Mar2009 gocr-0.47.tar.gz alternative site (GPG-Signatur) gocr-0.46.tar.gz 700kB, from sourceforge, Oct2008 gocr-0.46.tar.gz alternative site (GPG-Signatur)PackagesThis packages are not always up to date. see download@SF (src.tar.gz, i586.rpm) gocr-0.41-1.i586.rpm for SuSE-Linux (296KB) (was buggy) gocr-0.40-1.i386.rpm for Redhat Fedora Core 4 by Kent Franken (191KB) gocr-0.40-1.src.rpm for Redhat Fedora Core 4 by Kent Franken gocr-0.39-1.FC2.i386.rpm for Redhat Fedora Core 2 by Kent Franken (195KB) gocr-0.39-1.src.rpm for Redhat Fedora Core 2 by Kent Franken other RPMs for Redhat Debian packagesBinariesBinaries do not include any documentation.
