I used ocr-a since it was available and seemed likely to be easiest to scan. And, although some might disagree, I also find it easy to read. I just gave it a try w/o paper, using mpage to generate postscript, OCRA for the font, gs to render the ps to pbm, and gocr to extract the text. I needed to run >>tr \;_ ::<< on the extracted text, but with that paperkey was able to generate a new secring. So be aware that you may need to massage the ocr'ed data to recover paperkey's format, but it should mostly work. Using OCRB or Courier, gocr wasn't able to recover the text well enough. Tesseract did better with Courier-Bold, but needed >>tr Ol 01<<. But tesseract *badly* fails to grok OCRA! I suspect that actual printing and scanning won't be *too* much worse. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
