- Title
OCR für Drucke der Frühen Neuzeit? Erfahrungen und Perspektiven am Beispiel von Funeralschriften.
- Authors
Federbusch, Maria
- Abstract
Is it possible to successfully use optical character recognition (OCR) software for early printed books? Which expenditure is needed? Which results can be produced? Apart from these questions which partly are only touched on, the challenges coming with the material are named and their effects on the OCR workflow are explained. The focus is on optimising possibilities regarding the quality achieved. Experiences collected during a pilot project dealing with the OCR of funeral writings at the Berlin State Library - Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, which was promoted by the German Research Foundation, serve as the starting point.
