Nice! I will wait for the client though, thx. Where will the source images
be stored? Labs or Commons? It would be nice if you could somehow make a
client that builds a djvu file locally with the page image and the OCR text
that you can cleanup before putting it into the djvu file. Now it just
Hello again.
So, I've set up an OpenOCR instance on Labs that's available for use as a
service. Just call it and point to an image. Example:
*curl -X POST -H Content-Type: application/json -d
'{img_url:http://bit.ly/ocrimage
http://bit.ly/ocrimage,engine:tesseract}'
I explored abbyy gx files, the full xml output from ABBYY ocr engine
running at Internet Archive, and I've been astonished by the amount of data
they contain - they are stored at XCA_Extended detaiI (as documented at
http://www.abbyy-developers.com/en:tech:features:xml ).

Yes, the output is generally good. But as far as I can tell, the
OCR is available by a javascript. Numbers of wikisources have it enabled as
a gadget, though I cannot speak for all the wikis. I presume it relates to
the languages available in the OCR.

Speaking of Wikisource software, do we already have any instance

But ideally we could think of a customizable OCR software that gets
