[Corpora-List] Unicode OCR Sofware

[Lars Nygaard]

Dear mr. Uchechukwu,

You should try www.claraocr.org. It is a bit hard to get started, but
feel free to email me if you are having trouble.

You can also try Kooka, which supports several OCR engines
http://www.kde.org/apps/kooka/.

In both cases, having access to a Linux machine will make things easier,
but with some work it could also work on Windows and Mac OSX.
