hi,

At the discussion yesterday, we were told that the OCR did not work at all in case of many Indian languages. Also, as a person who does not understand OCR at all, can any one help me with what they mean by a 80% successful OCR? 

The other end of the process is the digitisation machine needed to convert the physical text into image. Any ideas on availability and cost of a museum grade digitisation machine? I am sure you cannot and the archives will not let you use an ordinary device to handle these documents. 

thanks in advance,
Pradeep
