Hi,
It is so great to have dunlug list going again, big thumbs up to those who
maintain and run the list!

I'm looking to do some OCR and ebook production wondered if anyone had OCR
or ebook tips or preferred software?

At the moment I'm planning on using tesseract-ocr
https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/

the end result being CC books (more specifically North Otago history books)
available on Gutenberg etc.

cheers
Chris
