[okfn-labs] Best practice for OCR workflows (re OED 1st edition project)

Thu Jul 11 17:48:48 UTC 2013

The Early Modern OCR Project (EMOP) has some interest writeups of how they
use Tesseract for their work.  OED isn't as old (EMOP focuses on
1475-1800), but some of their notes may be useful in other contexts.

Sadly, one of the tools in their tool chain, Aletheia from
Salford/Manchester, is closed source, non-commercial only (despite being EU
funded research!), but EMOP plans to distribute their tools as open source
(not yet, but soon).
