Yes I did mean PTP not PSP, my typo. I now have cameraderie installed and working fine. It was also suggested that the Netdrive FAT32 plugin would work where the straight FAT32 support does not, but I'm happy using Cameraderie, so I'll stick with that.

David ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 21:47:37 +1100 From: Alan Duval Subject: Tesseract Hi, I've been doing a lot of OCR work lately with Tesseract. I scan documents into C:\OCR where I also have Tesseract. The images are recorded as image001.tif with the next image being image002.tif etc. I then have to go to an os2 prompt, change to C:\OCR and type "tesseract imageNNN.tif NNN" where NNN is the image number, and that converts it to a file NNN.txt. Then I have to click on the txt file and thus open it in text viewer. Then I have to copy that across to a word processor. A lot of steps are involved. It would be great if I could simply double click on the image file and have it opened as text in a word processor. With the help of Kris I have made a program object and put the following lines in: Program field: C:\OCR\tesseract.exe Parameters: image[N1].tif [N2] Working directory: C:\OCR Now when I click on the program object a window comes up asking for the value of N1 which I type in and press enter. Then the same happens for N2 and the image is processed. With my word processor opened I can then open the file and correct any mistakes. Kris suggests that a REXX program could be written to simplify further the process. AS I don't know REXX I wonder whether someone could help?
