ScanTailor is not a OCR. It has got nothing to do with Indian Languages.

We understand there were a lot of questions about the agenda of train the trainer program. We have put together a rough draft which we wanted to share with you all. [1] Just want to mention that this the very first draft and is open to any kind of changes. We will also write to each of the participants to know what aspects they'd like to cover and incorporate those in our sessions.
Thank you for the link to the draft schedule. I have a somewhat tangential query. I notice that you recommend ScanTailor http://sourceforge.net/projects/scantailor/ for the participants. I was wondering if it would be possible to share (later, if not now) an estimate of accuracy of the software in post processing and handling digitized content in Indian languages. Perhaps using random samples from archive.org
And, as a suggestion, I would request that you put up pre-participation reading material wherever possible. For example, the sessions on Introduction to Unicode or, Fonts and Rendering would require some prior knowledge of the subject matter and help the resource person calibrate the proceedings accordingly.
