[PLUG] OCR on Linux

[Kunal Thakar]

Its not too much work. You don't need to 'prepare the image' as mentioned in
the tutorial. How hard is it? Install tesseract, imagemagick and then run
two commands. If you have multiple images, you can just write a script.

If you insist on using a GUI, you should look at Kooka or gocr.
