Description Tobias Niwi 2005-03-29 00:43:45 UTC 
Version:           0.44 (using KDE 3.4.0 Level "a" , SUSE 9.2 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-24.13-default

It would be great if Kooka could offer support for the ABBYY FineReader Engine. This seems to be the most professional OCR-software for Linux at the moment. More information are available at: http://www.abbyy.com/sdk/?param=28804

The ABBYY Engine is far away from being free software and the license is quite strict. That is not compatible with GPL and thus I doubt that we will get support in Kooka. I am not sure if I would agree to another exception to the GPL.
