Re-posting a now outdated query from meta
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:India_Access_To_Knowledge/Events/Bangal…
now that the workshop has already been conducted I think those that have
attended the workshop could comment if this cover Indic language OCR-ing -
if it did it would be worthwhile if the OCR software used can be documented
on the meta pages or elsewhere such as Wikisource. Most of the more
experienced editors here will be fairly familiar with the use of scanners
for creating PDF documents and uploading them to places like the Internet
Archive but the experience or knowledge of OCRs and their success rates is
a bit wanting for Indic languages (fonts).
