xsane2tess problem
The trouble in post 136345 is still here. Xsane works fine by itself. It works with gocr to do OCR but gocr doesn't give good results, tesseract is much better. But xsane2tess doesn't work with me. The problem seems to be that the .tif file produced by imagemagick isn't recognised by tesseract. Image Viewer doesn't recognise it, either, though Document Viewer and Gimp do. The scanner is HP Photosmart C3180 all-in-one and it produces a PGM image file. On the scan I've been using the file is 2.0MB and the TIF file is 22MB. Perhaps one of the options available in imagemagick will produce a recognisable file but which? I've tried removing the '-compress none' option to no avail. Thanks for your help.
