"Now a visually impaired person can read print in 24 languages using free software.
new features.

1. being a deb package easy-ocr 2.5 can be installed very easily.

2. scan and read from very beginning.

3. settings are saved until you go for change of settings again.

4. file name and location is requested by the programme at the beginning of the scanning process, if no location is specified  file will be automatically saved in the documents.

5. auto rotation. now, you are no more to worry about how you keep the book on the scanner. programme can set the correct rotation for you.


6 Two engines. there are two engines one good for picture skipping and speed and the other for lay out analysis.


7 repeated scanning. now there is fecility for repeated scanning and one can stippulate what should be the delay between the scanning.

8. page number. programme will automatically give the page number and one can go to the page using find fecility.

9. uninstallation. one can uninstall the programme by apt-get remove easy-ocr.

They have not pushed any code to the repository. I thought that there would be some code in the tar archive at http://code.google.com/p/easy-ocr/downloads/detail?name=EASY-O%2CC%2CR-1.8.tar.gz&can=2&q= but I failed to find it. I just see some shell scripts and a lot of .deb packages.

Indu just pointed out, and rightly so, that this does not have Indic support.
