It's not exactly what you're looking for, but Microsoft Office comes
with a scripting OCR engine that works on TIFFs. I use it to get text
from yearbooks we are scanning so people can look for names and such.
While I wouldn't put it on par with ABBYY, it does a pretty decent job.

Dear Code4Libbers,
I'm very pleased to announce that for the first time in almost two
years there has been a new release of marc4j. Release 2.4 is a minor
release in the sense that it shouldn't break any existing code, but
it's a major release in the sense that it represents an influx of

Very cool! I noticed that a feature, MarcDirStreamReader, is capable of
iterating over all marc record files in a given directory. Does anyone
know of any de-duplicating efforts done with marc4j? For example,
libraries that have similar holdings would have their records merged
into one record with

Hi, Mike.
I don't know of any off-the-shelf software that does de-duplication
of the kind you're describing, but it would be pretty useful. That
would be awesome if someone wanted to build something like that into
marc4j. Has anyone published any good algorithms for de-duping? As I
To me, de-duplication means throwing out some records as duplicates.
Are we talking about that, or are we talking about what I call work set
grouping and others (erroneously in my opinion) call FRBRization?
If the latter, I don't think there is any mature open source software
that addresses

could compare MARC records and tell you about differences. Perhaps
that would be useful.

I've wondered if standard number matching (ISBN, LCCN, OCLC,
ISSN ...) would be a big piece. Isn't there such a service from OCLC,
and another flavor of something-or-other from LibraryThing?
