Description Rob Kam 2021-10-02 21:01:29 UTC 
LibreOffice could do with an OCR component that can substitute for ABBYY FineReader. That's to be able to capture from the screen or a document then OCR and convert to clipboard or document, embedding the recognised text in the document with the same layout as the original.

All the documents with embedded text I've come across on Archive.org seem to have been done with ABBYY FineReader.
