Perry et all
As someone who indirectly makes a living (? ...ok so it pays for my
addiction to expensive electronic toys) with OCR as a tool , I can tell
you that OCR can bring a host of errors.Most OCR engines that i am
familiar with do not read in context. The largest error source are
characters that look very similar which can be aggravated by the
particular font used the lower case "L" (i.e l) and the number "1" are
often mistaken by OCR engines . For years HP/Agilent for example used a
font where these two were identical. Other sources of OCR misreading "I"
(both upper case "I" and lower case"i" ) mistaken for the "L" and "1".
Other common errors are "8" and "B"; "6" and "G" ,and so on. If accuracy
is the end goal then and exhausting proof reading (a science into it
self) is required ....have fun
