[NMLUG] Kooka, GOCR, OCRAD, Dysfunction

Hi, all-

I am running the latest Mepis, 3.4.3, and am trying to get OCR working. I am 
not having a great deal of success. 

Kooka wants to use OCRAD even when GOCR is selected. Even when OCRAD is not 
installed. I now have both OCRAD and GOCR installed, and the results using 
OCRAD as the OCR application are not useable. Kooka with OCRAD probably has 
at least a 50% error rate recognizing characters even on a good high 
resolution scan. 

Can any of you direct me as to how to get Kooka functioning for OCR? Can any 
of you recommend a Linux OCR application which functions better?

Lee
