In the main window, there's a slider with an icon by it that looks like a bunch of dots - if you mouse over it, it says "Set scan resolution". This is probably what you're looking for.
As far as ocr software goes... gocr kinda works at times, but I don't really recommend it. |

The available resolutions depends on your sane backend.
About ocr, in portage you can find gorc, ocrad, clara and tesseract. I remember that there was at least one more around, but I can't remind its name right now. I know from first hand that gocr is completely useless, unless you are looking into making some abstract/conceptual art out spam images. So, probably, tesseract is the most accurate open source option out there. It is still way behind some tools working on other OSes. Of course, it will only work on clean text, with english and a few other west-european languages with a similar alphabet and ONLY on tiff images (not a big problem, there's imagemagick for that  ).
To sum up: ocr completely sucks in the open source world. |
