Who can help me with this Dutch text?

[Pieter]

Hi all,

I just downloaded Tesseract (including the Dutch language files) to my
Ubuntu 9.10 installation from the repository. I use the terminal to
execute Tesseract.

The reason I downloaded Tesseract is that I would like to have digital
versions of a few books I own. I tested the program with a random text-
image (English) from internet, it worked like a charm. However, my
picture of a page of the book (edited with GIMP) results in rubbish:
http://www.redpanda.nl/img.tif (about 14MB).

Could somebody explain why it doesn't work in this case?
Thanks :)

Hmm I know what caused the bad quality, the picture wasn't in
grayscale yet... It works fine now!

Because there isn't much information available on Tesseract, I created
a little tutorial, http://redpanda.nl/Tesseract/ (in fact it's about
the preparation of your image before you use Tesseract).
Please let me know if you find it useful :)
