You are right, the input was not perfect: Google scans of a mid 18th centery book. Still, I had hoped, that the OCR software would do better.

OT: Does usable free OCR software exist? Posted Aug 25, 2006 19:25 UTC (Fri) by leoc (subscriber, #39773) [Link] One thing you might want to try is to "posterize" the image you are scanning. I wrote a perl script to use gocr to scan my satellite television source for channels that I do not receive (they are the ones that come up with a screen of text that says something to that effect), and I found that I had to posterize the output to 2 colours (black text on white background) before gocr could read any text off them.
