Cool, thanks Jim!!
I would love to be able to write my own script for this as I have many
images/ pdf's in a folder and would like to batch process them using an R
script!!
The underlying engine is "tesseract" which is also available as a
command-line tool and on other OSs. In principle, it is not hard to call
it with a system() command and then readLines() the resulting text.
However, it might be useful to play with the available options in the GUI
first to see what works best for your images.
Thanks
