FreeOCR - a free utility to detect scanned text.
It works not only with image files on your hard drive, but with the pdf file (though rather slowly) and directly with the scanner. For scanning only the connected scanner is required.

Quite useful. I tried it the previous month and I was really amazed. I can not but agree that it gives only high quality texts. If I could find such a program for Linux!

It's a small, usefull program. Espessially if you have a scanned text of high quality. It's a pity that the original format is not saved in the scanned text.
