I understand that only the last one (https://packages.ubuntu.com/kinetic/ocrfeeder
GUI) is with Graphic User Interface (GUI). I prefer GUI.
I downloaded and tried but not getting the result.Is user manual available for this app?

Maybe gimagereader fulfills your desires (a GUI frontend to tesseract). It's in the Ubuntu repositories.

Can you help with this problem?
