+     "GNU Ocrad is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program based on a
+feature extraction method.  It reads images in pbm (bitmap), pgm
+ (greyscale) or ppm (color) formats and produces text in byte (8-bit)
+or UTF-8 formats.
+
+Also includes a layout analyser able to separate the columns or blocks of text
+normally found on printed pages.
+
+Ocrad can be used as a stand-alone console application, or as a backend to
+other programs.")
