Hi all,
I've submitted a live round table at Wikimania. Check it out:
https://pretalx.com/individuals-collectives-session-submission-2021/talk/re…
It will be the occasion to discuss with Sam Wilson about the OCR
improvements, and its testing. Possibly Natalia Rodriguez, Product Manager
at Community Tech, will illustrate us the improvements they have in mind. I
hope that we will use this occasion to make progress on the technical side!
Cheers,
Alex

Hi all,
The new OCR tool is ready for testing, and we (the Community Tech team)
are wondering what Wikisources it should be rolled out to first
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T283898>. Does anyone have a
suggestion of which two or three Wikisources would be willing to give it
a go? It isn't likely to break anything, and the existing gadgets aren't
impacted (it'll just give a separate button, which could be confusing,
but doesn't interfere with the existing ones).
You can try it out on Beta now:

Note that the engine selection is saved in your browser's LocalStorage,
so will not be saved between browsers/devices but will be saved between
sessions on the same browser.
Thanks,
