Can anyone recommend an OCR utility to use in conjunction with hylafax.
I travel with a pocket VT100 Terminal Emulator and would like to read
incoming faxes arriving at my server. I figure this is the only way to
do this.
Are you trying to convert faxes to ASCII format? There are utilities
for converting TIFF fax format to PostScript (`fax2ps' or `tiff2ps')
and PostScript to ASCII (`ps2ascii'), but I suspect the results would
be rather lame, especially when a fax contains graphics.
