Hi Stephen,
We've worked several times on projects with UK Archiving
www.ukarchiving.co.uk including:
Everton FC minute books with transcriptions on behalf of the
Everton Collection
http://www.evertoncollection.org.uk/collection/minute%2520books
The Royal Academy Winter Catalogues with OCR
http://www.racollection.org.uk/ixbin/indexplus?_IXACTION_=file&_IXFILE_=templates/pages/exhibition_list.html
Canal and River Trust (photographic prints)
http://collections.canalrivertrust.org.uk/home
We've been well pleased with the quality. The work has been well
organised so that it has been straightforward to add to the collection
documentation.
They are an Edinburgh outfit so if the barriers come done on Friday
there may be issues(!).

To deliver probably a TIFF and a PDF document per page, with filenaming following a pattern (based on the OCR output of page content, ideally).To apply OCR engines and, ideally, to apply that OCR using some page zoning or format condition rules, to generate structured data output from the OCR, to some extent.

No OCR outcome.
