Has any OCR software been compiled for or used with X11.app?
Well, I'm not using any such software, but your question piqued my interest. I find that Clara OCR (
http://www.claraocr.org
) builds quite easily. A couple of tweaks are required:
1. Comment out the definition of modff() in preproc.c, since Apple's library provides this function; and
2. make the COPTS line in Makefile read
COPTS = -DHAVE_POPEN -DMEMCHECK -DFUN_CODES -DHAVE_SIGNAL -DTEST -DBIG_ENDIAN
Despite the fact that the FAQ says "Currently Clara OCR won't run on big-endian CPUs" and the PowerPC is big-endian, the resulting X Window application seems to work: following the Tutorial on the web site, I can start to train the application on the test documents delivered with the source.
Yes, train: it's very basic software, reminding me of stuff I was using on 68k Macs a dozen years ago. Still, it is free, whereas Omnipage will set you back $500. Well, maybe they've got an educational price, but, even so...
