In a second step, we created an online training infrastructure (okralact), which allows for the use of various open source OCR engines such as Tesseract, OCRopus, Kraken and Calamari. ...
Books printed before 1800 present major problems for OCR. One of the main obstacles is the lack of diversity of historical fonts in training data. ...

In this paper, we evaluate the performances of two pipelines suitable for the OCR of historical classical commentaries. ...
Yet, the exploitation of thousands of digitized historical commentaries was hitherto hindered by the poor quality of Optical Character Recognition (OCR), especially on commentaries to Greek texts. ...
Second, OCR4all [14] is an open source OCR tool explicitly developed for users with no prior technical background, and especially those working on the earliest printed books. ...

There have been earlier attempts to train high-quality OCR models with open-source software, like Ocropy (https://github.com/tmbdev/ocropy) and Tesseract (https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/ tesseract), ...
but so far, none of the methods have managed to successfully train a mixed model that recognizes all of the data in the corpus, which would be essential for an efficient re-OCRing of the corpus. ...
