I saw that ABBYY recently released its latest 8.0 OCR engine for linux (SDK), and though I'm all for an open-source alternative, that's so far off, there needs to be something, and Finereader is incredible. But are there any plans to use this to make a professional-level general user app? Or what about HP's Tesseract for that matter? I need high-quality scanning of articles, complete with page layout and picture/text/table recognition. Right now working on ABBYY 8 in WINE 0.9.30, but there are plenty of buggy problems with it. Often I still boot up the almost-useless Windows partition just for that purpose (another would be printing, though my discovery of gtklp recently nixed 95% of that) Where's the killer OCR app for linux?!
Apologies if I am way off base; don't even really know how an SDK works, though my understanding is that it is the command-line to the gui (in other words, the real stuff).
