[INDOLOGY] OCR

[Harry Spier]

Hi Patrick,
Have you tried SanskritCR (here are the instructions)
https://sri.auroville.org/projects/sanskrit-ocr/
Its just cut and paste an image.  But I'm not sure if it only does 1 page
conversion at a time. Or is multi page conversion a paid service?  Anyone
know?
