SimpleOCR in Linux using Wine

[jeffd]

Since there is a problem with getting decent OCR for Linux, someone pointed out in a Newsforge Linux OCR comment that SimpleOCR works fine under Wine. Good to know.

I went through what seems to be the common experience of searching and testing all the available Linux options, but I settled (finally) on using a Windows app (SimpleOCR - www.simpleocr.com) under Wine. Both use and install are and were trivial; just run.

I haven't tested this claim yet, but since SimpleOCR is freeware, that's definitely worth checking out.
