Dear List,
I've received a query from a medievalist who is interested in applying
OCR to manuscripts. I'm not really aware of recent work in this area
and I'm wondering what, if anything, is being done at this time or in
the recent past. Last time I looked into it good OCR from handwritten
texts was a long way off - for nicely written, straight English text,
to say nothing of heavily abbreviated medieval Latin or Old English
writing. But I'd be delighted to be proven wrong.
I know this is off-topic, so please send me citations and comments
off-list. (The query was sent within the context of TEI, which is why
I'm asking here at all...)
Thanks!
Dot
