[comp.sys.next] Anyone Doing Character Recognition on the NeXT?

kla@physc1.byu.edu (04/11/90)

Is anybody out there exploring OCR for the NeXT? It seems like the
perfect platform for it and would fit in very nicely with the
Desk Top Publishing image. I am working on OCR on the NeXT and
would like to collaborate with someone with more IB experience.
Goal: a PD Character recognition program for NeXT.

Also, does anyone know of the proper group to discuss Character
Recognition in. Any ideas? comp.ocr anyone????

Sorry couldn't resist to post this here, but I think this person deserve
more than a BIG applause. You guys have any idea how much it cost a
comercially available OCR?
