Hi all, Regarding Patrick’s question about easy OCR, I suspect he’s particularly looking for a tool that can handle multi-page PDFs in one go, which could be especially helpful for digitization projects like UTA’s Resource Library for Dharmaśāstra Studies <https://sites.utexas.edu/sanskrit/resources/dharmasastra/>.
If Patrick or anyone else is interested, feel free to reach out to me directly. I’m looking for a few volunteers to test a new drag-and-drop interface I’m building to streamline access to Google Vision OCR, which is currently best in class and handles multi-page inputs well.
