OCR with a Smile
An Operator's Guide To Optical Character Recognition
By Fred Ross
This is the recommended book on OCR. I did find it fascinating, though the
book is more focused on OCR for businesses and not for our intentions.
Books gets one page, and what he has to say about books isn't very
comforting. I also see, why Kurzweil and Open book don't incorporate
particular features. The book was very visual "Look at the image" and the
like, but still gives good ideas on maintenance, the scanning and OCR
process and some tips on how to fix certain errors.
