Hi all,
We currently run all our scans through Abbyy, whether they're done in-house, uploaded by another institution, or ordered through eHess.
As they come from the British Library the scans are OCR'd, but don't reflow - even ones from digital sources. We don't make them fully accessible or manually check the OCR'd text for accuracy, but we've found it doesn't take very long to make minor improvements to the BL scans and then re-upload them to the DCS.
I'm starting to do random quality checks on older scans as and when I have time.
Best wishes,
Caroline
