OCR software for Japanese

[Daisensei]

Does anybody here know an OCR (optical character recognition) software for Japanese? Violet has sent me scanned script of KNT episodes, and I'm typing it by hand, but using such software could save a lot of time (if it exists, of course). Therefore, I wish to know if there is such a software (preferably for Linux O. S.) or, better, if anybody could do this job and send me the text file. Thanks in advance.

Try Ocrad
http://www.gnu.org/software/ocrad/ocrad.html

or

Jocr
http://jocr.sourceforge.net/

They are the only two that I know of.  I'm not sure weather they support Japanese but it's worth a try.

Thanks for the information, both softwares are in Debian repository. In my next spare time shall see them.
