Linux journal had an article for tesseract
code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr
the files needed to be cleaned up first though (contrast black text
against white background), so understanding gimp or some other equally
functional command-line image editor is essential. Suggested
alternative was netpbm.sourceforge.net for image editing and for OCR
the alternative was ocrad. It was suggested that the images be scanned
in at 150dpi or greater.
