    I got half way through this extension, then stopped.

    It does provide some useful functionality, and does not require any additional python modules.

    I previously tried to use pytesseract.py - but found it was unsuitable for Inkscape, so wrote this from scratch.

    I'm interested in this!  Does it place text boxes over the text it ocr's?  I have a lot of rastered images that I convert to svg but it needs the image text replaced by text objects.

    Yes, but it was never a product I perfected. 

    Feel free to give it a go however :)
