Thanks so much. Your summary of T-PEN's design and capabilities is spot on!

So, yeah, new thread. Sorry (I'm not sorry).
tl;dr = it's not perfect but you'll never get access
control/revision/fulltext searching functionality even if you spend
~1000x more.

At the risk of shameless self-promotion, I would suggest an alternative to
the attempt at using OCR for handwriting. My field of research focuses on
pre-modern manuscripts which, to no one's surprise, have resisted any OCR
method. One solution is to create an environment that makes transcribing

Hi,
In regards to handwriting, you could always train an OCR library to do
this and there are several OCR libraries that attempt to do this
out-of-the-box (probably most notable is Evernote) ...but yeah, the
results vary greatly depending on the style of writing. Most focus on
just hand print
If it's for a discrete project, I'd say scan what you need OCR'd and put it
on Mechanical Turk

Thank you for the prompt replies.
Call me cheap or unable to navigate the political/fiscal landscape, but I don't
see myself subscribing to a service. Instead I see putting a wrapper around
Tesseract, but alas, the wrappers are written in languages that I don't know.
[1] Hmmm… On the Perl side
Something like this is on my "to do" list for our future Fedora Commons
deployment here at UConn. I was considering wrapping a SOAP interface around
something like the Perl Image::OCR::Tesseract module and adding it to our
ingest pipeline unless someone can recommend a better OCR application.
I don't think that would be possible to OCR handwriting. As I can remember, the
result are pretty useless. Unless using something like recaptcha.

I would be interested in any information on this plugin as well. I'm having the
same display problem as Lisa and also would like to get this plugin to work
with PDFs. So far I've only had luck with jpegs. Any assistance is appreciated.
