[Documentation] Recommend one or two GUIs for people new to tesseract #78

Heya. I use mostly linux, but oddly enough I have had great results via tesseract on windows if I remember correctly.

I have some old documents (semi-old, paper print out only, office bills and such) that I have to scan. I scanned
quite a lot already. The next step is to OCR them (they are in german).

I was thinking of using tesseract again (been some months...) but I think I prefer a GUI. The documentation
refers to this link:

https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/User-Projects-%E2%80%93-3rdParty.html

However there are about 20 entries.

Would it be possible to recommend one or two? It does not matter on which preference this happens, just
any recommendation by any tesseract dev may be useful. I refer mostly to a simple GUI that works
and produces the desired results. It does not have to be perfect but it should work. Right now I have
to pick among 20 entries without really knowing which one to prefer or at the least try first. So perhaps
1 or 2 could be mentioned briefly e. g. "for simple GUI, try abc or def" - something like that to the
documentation README.
