Today I rehearsed ScanTailor and unpaper to upload a rare book from WWI: https://archive.org/details/lettere-ferrovieri-patria I noticed the OCR is now "ABBYY FineReader 11"; IA only recently switched to 9 after many years on 8, this seems good news.

If I see correctly, 11 claims:

New and improved language support New OCR languages: Turkmen (Latin) and Old Slavonic New ICR languages: Danish, Norwegian (Bokmal & Nynorsk), Old English, Serbian (Cyrillic), Tajik Latin language has full dictionary support

Improved OCR for Chinese, Japanese & Korean

10 claims:

Improved Language Support Chinese Korean Japanese
