I've run into that situation too, with listings so difficult that even a
commercial OCR program (FineReader) couldn't handle it. At the time Tesseract
was far less capable, though I haven't tried it recently to see if that has
changed.
Anyway, my experience was that the task was hard enough th
I recently dealt with this with the DaJen SCI monitor listing out of the
manual. The copy is pretty bad, and either their printer was having issues, or
slashing of "zero" vs "O" was inconsistent somehow. OCRing it produced more of
a mess than just sitting with the original and a text editor open
I am trying to locate documentation on the PDP-8 clone built by Canadian
company Consolidated Computer Inc (Mers Kutt) in the mid 1970's.
An example exists in the UK and will be restored when more data than just the
system can be found.

Someone's already done the specialist OCR to deal with faded program listings.

Neat. Though all the complex character recognition part of that work
is now like 15-20 lin
It is unlikely that no current day OCR will produce an error free listing.
It is possible to train an AI to do this but it requires specific training. It
must be on the specific machine code and on the same format. Any generic OCR
will have many errors if the text is hard to read.

I tried to contact the author about converting some of the other IMP
listings, but got no reply.
Hi,
I have a mystery S-100 computer that I'm would like to sell, from the
estate of the late Ken Gielow (author of Z80DIS, a great Z80 disassembler).
The proceeds will be donated to a non-tax-deductible magic group Ken was a
long-time member of.

Sorry about the double negative.
I was in a hurry as I was supposed to drive over the hill to Santa Cruz for a
couple hours.

Should have read:
