Kooka is just a scanner, it passes OCR jobs onto another program, typically
GOCR. Apart from GOCR you could also try Clara (www.claraocr.org). Certainly
I found GOCR very sensitive to input quality. If you give it clean, regular
type in a standard font you stand a chance. If its italics...forget it and if
it has an inconsistent layout, like a magazine it can be hard as well. Make
sure there is goof definition between type and paper, coloured backgrounds
are hard, preferably black text, white background and no dust or specks.
Good luck!
