So, I've got scans of a half dozen new hard drives, and I've got scans of |
| 2 |
their labels. One image has two drives, the other has four. |

Rather than manually transcribing the label contents into my intake ticket, |
| 5 |
I'd like to select a region of each image and OCR it. (Darn, it'd be handy if |
| 6 |
they put all this metadata into a QR code...) |

|

What tools exist to let me do this? Keep in mind, I've got multiple regions I |
| 9 |
need to OCR, and the regions aren't going to be consistent across images. |

xsane would have let me do it during the scan process if I'd thought of it |
| 12 |
then, but the scans are done, drives aren't there any more. Something |
| 13 |
reasonably similar would be nice. Okular is reputed to have some OCR |
| 14 |
capability, but I can't find it. Dolphin is supposed to be able to do it if you |
| 15 |
have tesserract installed (I do), but I can't find the service to enable. I |
| 16 |
could use some pointers... |
