+GNU Ocrad is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program based
+on a feature extraction method. It reads a bitmap image in pbm or
+pgm formats and produces text in byte (8-bit) or UTF-8 formats.
+
+Ocrad includes a layout analyser able to separate the columns or
+blocks of text normally found on printed pages.
