Is there any way for an end-user to see the text version? That would
be important for people who want to copy/paste from some document
they've searched for (and found).
Someday I'm going to start digitizing and OCR-ing the 100 years of
local newspapers which are gathering mold in the library basement. I
really have no firm plan as to how I'm going to do it, but doing it
with free software would be a big plus.
