OCR Fonts
I'm setting up my OCR program, the tests are good but I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to make them better, specifically I'm wondering what the most common fonts used in books are? or what other additional fonts to the default list have yielded good results?

Hi,
If you read history books or travel books, you may want to add characters that represent other languages that can often be found mixed in English (assuming that is your language of choice). These can be found in Spanish, French, German, etc in the form of accented or umlauted characters. I like WW2 history books on tanks and tried to OCR one and all of the French and German place names and terms really wrecked havoc with my OCR and I had to give that up since I did not (at that time) know how to add my own chars for training the OCR engine. My 2 cents, KevinH |
