Hi Everyone,
In my opinion, it is always better to OCR the documents. I agree that

Whether to OCR or not to OCR is a significant issue! When we OCR a page of
text, the resultant is often error-prone, lost formatting, and the
correction requires crowd-sourced correction. Many of us know about Project
Gutenberg. The site provides plain vanilla etexts. But what most people do

A brief account about the Workshop as a participant.
The workshop was meant as a DIY digitization without having to invest in a
scanner and to use a simple digital camera for effective digitization of
