uh, that sounds very interesting.
Right now, we mainly use OCR from djvu from Internet Archive (that means
ABBYY Finereader, which is very nice).
Yes, the output is generally good. But as far as I can tell, the
archive's Open Library API does not offer a way to retrieve the OCR output
programmatically, and certainly not for an arbitrary page rather than the
whole item. What I'm working on requires the ability to OCR a single page
on demand.
True.
I've recently met Giovanni, a new (italian) guy who's now working
with
Internet Archive and Open Library.
We discussed about a number of possible parnerships/projects, this is
definitely one to bring it up.
But if we manage to do it directly in the Wikimedia world it's even better.
