Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm working on a project that entails
photographing text (from any hard copy of text) and converting
that text into a text file. Then I'd like to use that text file
to do some different things, such as provide hyperlinks to news
articles or allow the user to edit the document.  The tool I've
tried so far is Java OCR from sourceforge.net, which works fine
on the images provided in the package. But when I photograph my
own text, it doesnt work at all. Is there some training process
I should be implementing? If so, does anybody know how to
implement it? Any help will go a long way. Thank you!

idea if it's any good. sourceforge.net/projects/tcrneuroph –

since this question, and ended up downloading VirtualBox and
running GOCR on it. But the virtual machine has a world of
problems on its own! Lord have mercy. –  Agent Pants Dec 10 '12
