Hello All, I have been scanning with "scanimage" and rotating with "convert" with a degree of success. From this I deduce that the "native" orientation of the scan is that it starts from the top, while I have tended to scan the other way. I have googled about scanning, and bothered to install "unpaper" and "tesseract-ocr". I am having a bit of trouble sorting out the l, t, x and y parameters, where they offset from and the like. I will manually initiate each scan as there is no auto feed, which would not be applicable with a magazine or book anyway, so can increment a number in the filename, although some good explanation of doing so would be appreciated. There are also a host of things with unpaper, and should someone have pointers and tips, that would be appreciated. I will then try feeding through tesseract, and any experience there would also be appreciated. If you are scanning with other software, with good results, please also comment on what you use, and why you made the choice. Regards, Mark Trickett
