Is Tesseract open source? It sounds vaguely like the one I tried, but I'm not
sure; I remember something that felt more like a toolkit than like an
application.
Google's OCR is pretty lousy in many cases. Perhaps that's because they just
feed it stuff without ever looking at the result. There are plenty of Google
books that have errors in the majority of the words.
