It's free to download now from +[our Rescribe page](https://rescribe.xyz/rescribe), +and it will work on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. + +![Screenshot of rescribe tool](screenshot-01.png) + +This release brings several major new features, a graphical +interface, support for reading PDFs directly, and an integrated +Google Book downloader chief among them. There are heaps of +smaller changes, too, like removing the limitation to name image +files in a particular way, adding the option to disable +automatic margin wiping, and adding the option to create the +searchable PDF using original size page images, for those who +value quality more than disk space in their PDFs. + +This wouldn't have been possible without the generous support +of backers from [Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2043301600/rescribe-a-high-quality-ocr-tool-for-historic-books), +who as well as backing us with their money also kindly offered +their time and energy to test early Beta versions of the software, +and gave great suggestions for changes and features to add. + + +If you have any problems with it, please do let us know at +[info@rescribe.xyz](mailto:info@rescribe.xyz) and we'll be happy +to help you out. + +And a friendly reminder that if you have or are considering a +project where historical OCR could be useful, do reach out, we're +always happy to advise and help with such projects, whether large +or small! -- cgit v1.2.1-24-ge1ad
