| Running tesseract on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Before running Tesseract, if using another language than English, the
corresponding language pack must be installed.
e.g.
    # pkg_add tesseract-fra

Here's a quick HOWTO about optical character recognition using:
    scanimage(1) -- from the sane-backends package
    unpaper -- from the unpaper package
    convert(1) -- from the ImageMagick package
    tesseract

$ scanimage --mode gray --resolution 300 > scan.pnm
$ unpaper -b 0.5 -w 0.8 -l single scan.pnm scan1.pnm
$ convert scan1.pnm scan.tif
$ tesseract scan.tif scan.txt
