Package: gscan2pdf Version: 0.9.31-1 Severity: normal Tags: l10n Recognition of a scanned text within gscan2pdf using ocropus results in a worse quality than running e.g. ocrodjvu afterwards. Besides the general quality problems, umlauts like äöü are not recognized at all, e.g. ü is always replaced with ii. This makes the OCR feature impractical for german language texts.
Since a separate run of ocropus after saving a djvu from gscan2pdf gives good results, this seems to be an issue of how ocropus is called from within gscan2pdf. Thanks for your work!
