[Athen] OCR with writing on the page

[Susan Kelmer via athen-list]

You OCR as normal, but then you spend some time manual editing to fix what came through that shouldn't, and replace what was obscured.  I do this on the daily, it's all just part of the process.

Hi

I was sent a document by someone today to OCR.  It has writing on it and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to OCR it.  We use Abby and Adobe.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Lorraine
