+.TH ocroscript 1 "June 06, 2008"
+.SH NAME
+ocropus \- command line OCR tool
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ocroscript
+.RI "<script> <arguments>"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+You can see a list of all available commands by looking in the $OCROSCRIPTS
+(/usr/share/ocropus/scripts/ by default) path.
+.PP
+The \(oqrecognize\(cq script uses tesseract for recognition and sends the html-based hOCR
+ouput to stdout. Tesseract is probably the most mature text recognizer within
+OCRopus at the moment. Natively, Tesseract doesn't do layout analysis, but
+combined with OCRopus, it makes for a pretty good OCR system:
