Re: [Staffslug] OCR software for linux
Just managed to get it installed and working and Kris your suggestion was
superb. I'm running manjaro at the minute but it was in the arch repos. so
have a look in the repos of whatever distro your using I think the package
I installed us called gimagereader
I had to download some additional language files from here:

It worked pretty much 99% with only a few characters missing or slightly
out of place.
So there you go OCR for linux :)

Have a look at tesseract. It has yielded fairly good results for me.
