Subject: Re: [NGC4LIB] Software to OCR Fraktur?
Tesseract has a profile that was trained on Fraktur (
http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/tesseract-2.01.deu-f.tar.gz)
I haven't tried it, so I can't say how fast or accurate it is.
See the project home page at http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/
