> 1. support for international characters
That requires additional training and prototypes - I believe Ray Smith is working on releasing that at some point. This will also allow tess to recognize other languages.
> 2. support for multipage tiff images
That's not hard .. I think this and support for other image formats will come soon.
> 3. support for compressed tiff images
That is going to be a BIG issue because libtiff doesn't ship with LZW support because of
the Unisys patent (also why GIF encoding has been removed from ALL GNU apps!). Unless you want to personally build that in, don't look for support anytime soon (until the patent
expires, that is :-)

Yes, international support is necessary for wide spread of the product.

I'd like international support too. Otherwise, tess is not very useful here ;)
