OCR librarys

[Josef Meile]

Hi Timothy,

first at all, sorry if you receive this message twice, but I sent a
message five hours ago and I don't see it on
mail.python.org/python-list.

Now at least the OP will receive it since I included it in a CC.

This thread may give you an start:
http://groups.google.ch/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/362ac64a3c3aece2/

It mentioned how to call simpleocr, which according to the website:
http://www.simpleocr.com

it is Royalty Free. I haven't tried it, so, I can say how accurate it
is.

Regards,
Josef
