I didn't try one of these, allthoug I have a copy of Omnipage form.
I got Presto Page Manager working under Wine.
This is a program which was written for Win 3.11, so it is 16 bit.
Mostly 16 bit programs should work rather fine under Wine.
One thing about wine, it support mostly software, but not really hardware, so I
guess trying to scan under wine shall not work.
Sane is the best option for scanning.
I did not do much testing with Presto as OCR program, because I just need it
once every few months.
I did have a problem with tiff files.
If I scanned an image with Sane or Xsane and saved it as a tiff file, I could
not get it loaded into Presto. Not under Wine and not under Windows.
I do not know what the problem is.
Could be Sane or the tiff-libraries or Presto, I don't know.
The best thing is to try it out yourself.
