GOCR (GNU Optical Character Recognition)
========================================

Version (0.47)

Project website:  http://jocr.sourceforge.net

See README for details.

Compiled for OS/2 using gcc 4.3.3 (GCC 4.3.3 2009-02-24 release)
 ( available at  http://smedley.info/os2ports/ )


Additional requirements to run the program:
 gcc-3.3.5-csd3-runtime (ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.3-csd3.zip)


Usage:
======

- Type gocr -h for usage.

- Example 'one-liner' of a scan2text.cmd:
  scanimage --device=epson --mode=Gray --resolution=300 | gocr - > textfile.txt

- Another example:
  scanimage --device=epson --mode=Gray --resolution=300 1>out.pnm 2>out.error && gocr out.pnm > ocr.txt

- If you are using for example option '-m 130' for database you have to create
  the directory db manually.

Hints:
======

- If the image is complex or the letters are small, gocr is quite slow.
  (expect duration of serveral minutes!).

- I suggest that you make your first tests with small scans.

How to compile with gcc-4.3.3:
==============================

Compiled 'out of the box' I just needed

 delete make.bat
 sh configure
 make
