I finished a very rough, tesseract + LLM transcription, but it absolutely needs editing passes.
I've done transcription in the past myself (did two books for standard ebooks with some from-scratch transcription and lots of editing) and I know the pain. I've always found it easier to fix up OCR than type the whole thing by hand because I've found my error rate of eyeball transcription to be higher.
If you want to tackle the proofing passes, I'm happy to add you to the repo :)
- wahnfrieden 2y agoUse LiveText API. Much much better accuracy than Tesseract. You can rent access to it.
- CoastalCoder 2y agoAnyone know why the parent comment would be downvoted? I know nothing about OCR, so maybe it's obvious to others.
- dylan604 2y agoIt reads as a drive by advertisement. Also, people like full local vs renting as a default.
- wahnfrieden 2y agoIt is full local and offline. I also don’t work for Apple or own shares in case you thought I have a financial stake in mentioning their products
- dylan604 2y agoI didn't down vote. I answered the other question. Your comment reads like an ad. That tends to get downvoted. This entire conversation about why the down votes should be down voted also, if it is full local and offline why does it need to be rented?
- wahnfrieden 2y agoit doesn't need to be rented if you have an apple device
- wahnfrieden 2y agoNo good reason. Votes come from clueless people too. Don’t trust votes on HN
