Do we have tools for offline collaboration?
by mathieu stumpf guntz 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

Hello, A person in a local Wikisource workshop asked me if we could download all material of a specific work to proofread it offline. So download both the pictures and the OCRed text. Additionaly I think it would be good to provide tool to at least have side by side plain text and pictures. So, are you aware of anything close to such a tool? :) Cheers

Hi all, On behalf of West Bengal Wikimedians User Group, I am happy to announce that Dr. Tapodhir Bhattacharjee, Ex-Vice chancellor of Assam University, has kindly released copyright of 5 of his books under CC-BY-SA 4.0 license. The books are uploaded to Commons and are now in the hands of Bengali and English Wikisourcers for further work. Kudos to Dr. Tanmay Bir and Jayanta Nath for their effort to release, scan and upload the content. Thanks, -- Bodhisattwa

21 Mar '18

Hi Sam, The Google OCR button and the tool <https://tools.wmflabs.org/ws-google-ocr/> is giving 500 internal server error output from today, although the Cloud Vision API is working fine <https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/drag-and-drop>. We have reported in phabricator here <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T190216>. It would be great for us if you please look into this matter urgently as all our options are suddenly ceasing to work. -- Bodhisattwa

Zero output for OCR using Google Drive API
by Bodhisattwa Mandal 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hi, For last few weeks, Google OCR using Drive API has stopped working for few Indic scripts like Bengali and Devanagari affecting Bengali, Sanskrit and Assamese Wikisource. It's still working for other Indic scripts, I guess. If anyone have any contact with Google, we need to know if this temporary or any plan for major change is underway. This is extremely important as this will drastically sooner or later affect every Indic Wikisource projects and we have to plan accordingly. Regards, Bodhisattwa
