<EM>&gt; &gt; Greetings:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I have a functional machine print ocr engine I have built and am
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; wondering if it would be worth while to open source it and release it to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; the net. It is not a &quot;single font&quot; trained engine but can do multiple
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; fonts and proportional and is completely trained.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Before I go to any trouble of packaging it up with a good auto
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; configure script I was wondering if any one is interested in it and more
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; importantly if anyone wants to work on the back end of it. That is the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; n-gram dictionary lookup.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; If your interested in it, and/or may be interested on working on the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; back end please email eja@altavista.net.
</EM><BR>
<P>I am very interested in open source OCR. I'm not sure what an
<BR>
n-gram dictionary lookup is; this thing already works, I gather,
<BR>
so what needs to be done exactly? I'm a very experienced programmer,
<BR>
just not with OCR specifically.
<BR>
