That's great to hear! It's certainly been a long time coming. Nick White & I tried to get this to happen 7 years ago and even volunteered to help, but were ignored. https://archive.org/post/1010389/using-tesseract-to-improve-ocr-for-some-languages > and I'm hoping that we can record exactly what version of language files > was used for a specific OCR job. Yes, provenance of the OCR'd text and the software used to derive it would be very valuable. Did you do any type of quality / performance comparative study as part of the switch or evaluation leading up to it? Can you share the results? Will you be reprocessing the backlog of books which were originally done with ABBYY? As I mention in that thread from 7 years ago, there's a subset which, anecdotally, looks like it might have been processed using ABBYY "fast" mode, accounting for extra low quality output. These would be especially useful for reprocessing. Are you looking at any higher level processing (e.g. voting / merging results from multiple scans/editions) to improve the raw quality further?
