Xournal does not have inbuilt OCR. I think I noted that a
post process would be needed up front
As to transcription errors, I think in the medical field (as I
watch my doc), there is a limited range of 'bubble grid' DSM
codes, etc, and that the software they run at their office
does not try to solve the general, context-free OCR problem
