[ale] ocr and scanning text docs under Linux

[Geoffrey]

I didn't know xsane had that capability.  I did at one time play around 
with something called gocr which worked so-so. It's been a while though. 
I've never found any ocr software that worked very well, on any platform. :(

Google returns a lot of info on gocr with:

linux gocr

attributes.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
