GOCR is free text recognition software (OCR) from Jörg Schulenburg that is operated using command line commands.
GOCR recognizes different printer fonts without having to resort to a database , which makes it particularly easy to use. In addition to plain text, the program can also decode common one-dimensional barcodes .

The program originally appeared for Linux , but binary files are now also available for Windows and OS / 2 , which are provided by the external programmers Peter BL Meijer and Franz Bakan. The program is included in all common Linux distributions . For example , it is used by Kooka , a scanner software under KDE , as a back-end .
