Summary: ABBYY FineReader Engine does not work correctly with ScanSnap scanner software Product: Wine Version: 1.1.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jens-wine@spamfreemail.de
Hello,
proper OCR is one of the missing things under Linux. OS X has options but they are limited. I own a ScanSnap scanner which has software for Windows and OS X. Linux users have made their own using the SANE backend. But the OS X and Linux solutions lack the OCR scanning engine that the Windows version has.
The OCR engine runs under Wine but only ever scans the first page of every (scanned) PDF I throw at it. After that, it spills endless lines of
fixme:process:GetProcessPriorityBoost (0x40,0x628bc5ec): semi-stub fixme:process:GetProcessPriorityBoost (0x40,0x628bc5ec): semi-stub fixme:process:GetProcessPriorityBoost (0x40,0x628bc5ec): semi-stub fixme:process:GetProcessPriorityBoost (0x40,0x628bc5ec): semi-stub fixme:process:GetProcessPriorityBoost (0x40,0x628bc5ec): semi-stub
hundreds of times a second while "WineHelper" and "X11" processes drive the CPU load to 100%. If I press "Stop" in the recognition window, wait one minute (approx) then restart the process it will advance one page further (because it skips already OCRed pages).
My guess is if this semi-stub were implemented this OCR process would work properly. For me, this would mean I could FINALLY do ALL scanning and document managing on my Macbook and my Linux PC, and would not need to boot Windows just to scan in a heap of documents.
Could this function be implemented?
Thank you!
