8 Extracts the text to a .txt file with an identical name to the original file, so it's interoperable and easy to find. The extraction accuracy is perfect due to Tesseract. My sole gripe is that it's not distributed as a native package for my distribution (openSUSE) like some other plasmoids are, which would have meant a lot less manual dependency resolution. In that vein, if a dependency is absent, this should more be more obviously communicated to the user.

10 It Does what it's made to do, plain text as tesseract is the engine behind this awesome tool, if you get scrambled text results that would be something to do with tesseract ? Getting 'read it' gimageReader' to recognize text in eg speech bubbles , usually with black outline for bubble and blocks of colour would make (any app able to read the text) have a fault = that as graphics thrown in with the text very difficult , Would that be a fair opinion , I think I jumbled up my wording might have to read more than twice ? gimageReader will save me a lot of typing as I have many scanned documents that I'd like to put the text into a set of pdf's When the time taken lifting text (plain text) copy/paste compared to typing doing just over 150 pages per set with about 5 or 6 sets, for me this is a big win, I have to wait until end of year for spare $$$. Thank You @chartmann
