<i>&gt; &gt;What's everything? Is there a standard regression test that you run on</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;a scanner to say, yes it does work? </i><br>
<p>
<i>&gt; The mention of "regression test" reminds me of something; I'd</i><br>
<i>&gt; like to see a test backend that doesn't actually do anything, but has</i><br>
<i>&gt; every possible combination of option type and unit and constraint, in</i><br>
<i>&gt; order to allow testing that frontends can handle every possible</i><br>
<i>&gt; option.</i><br>
The PNM backend is intended for exactly this. Well it has a function, too<br>
(reading PNMs), but this is only to be able to test the data-transfer<br>
process, too.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; been tested on the PNM and qcam backends. Unfortunately, I won't get</i><br>
<i>&gt; around to writing this test backend for a while.</i><br>
You could extend the PNM backend with some further silly options (gamma-mapping <br>
maybe ?).<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; BTW, there's someone named Stuart Inglis who's working on a free OCR program; </i><br>
<i>&gt; the Web page is at <a href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~singlis/ocr/">http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~singlis/ocr/</a> .</i><br>
Oh - nice. Should have a look at it.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Currently he has a set of command-line programs which take PBM files and </i><br>
<i>&gt; process them, but no higher-level interface.</i><br>
Actually this is nice for batch-processing. A GUI should only be needed<br>
if the system needs help, e.g. in page-separation.<br>
<p>
I'd really appreciate a good OCR program for Linux.<br>
<p>
CU,Andy<br>
