Hi all
Hope this is an easy one; I've hunted around in the histories but haven't found a reference.
I'm looking to use Kooka to OCR a bunch of articles I've scanned. Unfortunately my antique parrallel-port scanner isn't supported, so I had to use some other os to get the photoshop/paintshop/pcx/bpm files in. No Problem.
I can import the files into Kooka ok, and view the contents, but when I try to OCR I get the following message: "The path to the ocrad binary is not configured yet. Please go to the Kooka configuration and enter the path manually."
So what do I put in there? Is it possible to select a different ocr engine? I haven't been able to get any combinations of paths/engines to work. The ocrad site yields a bz2 tar file, but what should I do with it? Any help? BTW, the same thing happens on Knoppix 3.4-3.7 and Kanotix.
Thanks
