Re: [Bug-ocrad] German OCR, etc.

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

Hello Ray.

I have no plans to support the eszet (ß) anytime soon, but perhaps a 
German programmer could contribute the code to recognize it.

On the other hand, ocrad does recognize umlauts (dieresis, look the 
examples/test.pbm file). If you have a document with umlauts that ocrad 
is unable to recognize, please, send it to me (no to the list), and I'll 
try to fix the problem.


Best regards,
Antonio Diaz.
