Yes. The recent tesseract is doing good on OCR. It uses machine learning technologies to train and giving better results with recent versions.
I find Tesseract useful for books in good print quality with near modern spelling, but for old print (in my case Swedish and Danish blackletter or "Fraktur" style), it performs poorly. There are some 3rd-party tessdata files for this (swe-frak, dan_frak), but they don't do a good job. Have you been working on training Tesseract for new fonts and languages, or have you only been using the pre-trained languages? As proofreading progresses, year after year, we should be able to retrain the OCR software and improve its performance. But I don't hear about any such progress. -- Lars Aronsson ([email protected]) Project Runeberg - free Nordic literature - http://runeberg.org/ _______________________________________________ Wikisource-l mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
