Thanks for the pointer.  That led me to gocr and libgocr
(http://jocr.sf.net/).  That seems to be what the SA folks are using for
OCR.  At first blush, gocr seems to be about as good (or as bad) as ocrad,
though the text it generates appears to be bad in some dimension orthogonal
to ocrad's badness.  I haven't looked at libgocr yet.
