I'm wondering whether there exist public-domain OCR (Optical Character Recognition) programs, and I haven't seen a discussion thread on the topic. It seems no matter how up-to-date the database is, one frequently ends up typing in sequence data. I realize there *are* commercial OCR programs around, but I haven't seen a review that made me want to buy one. My target machine of preference would be Macintosh, TIFF or PICT input, and C or Pascal would be great if source were available as example code. Emailed replies will be summarized and posted here. Thanks for any info ... Bob Straubinger rms@acsu.buffalo.edu
