Download BookLiberator
BookLiberator is written in Python and requires that you have a working Python environment. In addition, it has some dependencies: numpy, tesseract, psyco and pygtk. You'll need to install both of these for BookLiberator to work.
Releases
Version 0.1.82 is available for download.
Test Images
Some people that want to play with the software don't have a BookLiberator to produce images for them. So, we uploaded some test images.
Crop normally does some statistical analysis for error-correction, but with only seven images, there aren't enough images to make that feasible.
Bleeding Edge
You can see the code in mind-numbing detail in our Launchpad repository, but if you just want to download the absolute bleeding-edge version of BookLiberator, the trunk is available via Bazaar:
bzr branch lp:bookliberator
You shouldn't need to pull the code via bzr unless you intend to do development. We usually make a new release pretty quickly after any significant bugfixes or new features.
Windows
Note: we don't yet have a Windows version for download. These instructions apply to the experimental version of bookliberator known as 'wx'. That version is currently under development and is not usable. But if you want to hack on it, grab its branch, install the Python 2.6 programs listed below, and go for it!
BookLiberator is a Python program, so you'll need Python and some libraries. In each case, download and run the installer. Accept all defaults and you'll be fine.

And we use Tesseract for OCR:
Don't worry. We will eventually make the windows install a *lot* less painful.
