We are digitizing some 500 pages of the Diccionario Griego-Espaņol.
This task is quite difficult because the letters are small (7.5) and
our text is a mix of Greek, Spanish and all kind of abbreviations,
numbers, etc. After several trials of different softwares, we chose
FineReader 9. Anagnostis seemed to be quite pointless for our work,
because I can remember it was impossible to configure this program in
order to recognize at the same time Ancient Greek and a modern
language. After a long and tedious training of FineReader, we managed
to obtain a recognition quite satisfactory (maybe we've reached some
85% of effectiveness for the Greek), but a manual revision remained
necessary.

Hello,
I've been told this is just the forum in which to find some insight to the following problem: We have about 270 pages of typewritten and critically edited ancient Greek text that we'd like to scan and digitally edit. It appears that there are several kinds of OCR software available to do this, such as Anagnostis, FineReader and Google's open source OCR. From your own experience in working with these types of manuscripts, do you have a program that you prefer, or perhaps another method to recommend?
