Nice! I will wait for the client though, thx. Where will the source images
that you can cleanup before putting it into the djvu file. Now it just
Commons and add the text in the template there.
Post by Asaf BartovHello again.
So, I've set up an OpenOCR instance on Labs that's available for use as a
*curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d
'{"img_url":"http://bit.ly/ocrimage
<http://bit.ly/ocrimage>","engine":"tesseract"}'
http://openocr.wmflabs.org/ocr <http://openocr.wmflabs.org/ocr>*
"You can create local variables for the pipelines within the template by
preï¬xing the variable name with a â$" sign. Variable names have to be
composed of alphanumeric characters and the underscore. In the example
below I have used a few variations that work for variable names."
If we see evidence of abuse, we might have to protect it with API keys,
but for now, let's AGF. :)
I'm working on something that would be a client of this service, but don't
have a demo yet. Stay tuned! :)

Post by Alex BrolloI explored abbyy gx files, the full xml output from ABBYY ocr engine
running at Internet Archive, and I've been astonished by the amount of data
they contain - they are stored at XCA_Extended detaiI (as documented at
http://www.abbyy-developers.com/en:tech:features:xml ).
Something that wikisource best developers should explore; comparing those
data with the little bit of data into mapped text layer of djvu files is
impressive and should be inspiring.
But they are static data coming from a standard setting... nothing
similar to a service with simple, shared, deep learning features for
difficult and ancient texts. I tried "ancient italian" tesseract dictionary
with very poor results.
So Asaf, I can't wait for good news from you. :-)

Post by Andrea ZanniPost by Asaf BartovPost by Andrea Zanniuh, that sounds very interesting.
Right now, we mainly use OCR from djvu from Internet Archive (that
means ABBYY Finereader, which is very nice).
Yes, the output is generally good. But as far as I can tell, the
archive's Open Library API does not offer a way to retrieve the OCR output
programmatically, and certainly not for an arbitrary page rather than the
whole item. What I'm working on requires the ability to OCR a single page
on demand.
True.
I've recently met Giovanni, a new (italian) guy who's now working with
Internet Archive and Open Library.
We discussed about a number of possible parnerships/projects, this is
definitely one to bring it up.
But if we manage to do it directly in the Wikimedia world it's even better.
