OCR of a pdf with gocr

I installed gocr, with the command suggested by the ubuntu terminal (sudo apt install gocr), in order to carry out an OCR recognition of the text in a pdf file. How could I use it? I didn't find a tutorial to do this.

On newer Ubuntu versions it was replaced with tesseract-ocr:

For simple usage with a GUI, I recommend using gImageReader:

installation:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sandromani/gimagereader
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimagereader tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-eng
