Re: [Jocr-devels] possible idea to increase chance of 0's instead of O's

The context correction was to weak. I fixed at in 
www.ovgu.de/jschulen/jocr.tgz (its not official released yet).
You can limit to numbers and decimal point using -C "0-9.," option.
If you think gocr does stupid things, please email a small sample to me
to give me the chance to fix the problem.
