[Bug 15361] New: ABBYY FineReader Engine does not work correctly with ScanSnap scanner software

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15361

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: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

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!

Jens

(removed tag "hardware" since the software piece in question does not access
the scanner - it's just the ABBYY FineReader Engine that does the OCR)

Hello,

unfortunately the OCR engine installer stopped working altogether in the newest
wine development release. Has anything been done about this bug? Can I help in
any way?

Thanks,
Jens

Be sure to run a regression test to see what broke it:

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.23 or newer) wine?

No response in over 11 months, marking abandoned. If this is still an issue in
current (1.2-rc2 or newer) wine, and you can provide the needed information,
feel free to reopen.
