    Question OCR, speech synthesis recommendations?

    I'm curious if anyone here has experience or recommendations for OCR, speech synthesis, and speech-to-text software for linux. What, if any, are the most reliable package(s)? Isn't the most common, usable OCR software now open-source?

    OCR: gocr and ocrad are the typical packages. gocr can load pretty much any typical image file, while the focus on Ocrad is accuracy, it only accepts bitmap formats. gocr has more features, but both you are likely to have to open the output in a word processor to fix and format.

    TTS: The Festival Speech Engine has been the Linux standard for a while. There's also something called Flite which I haven't messed with.

    Speech Recognition: This one I don't know, never needed it. The wiki is known out of date, but has more info than I know:
    Speech recognition in Linux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
