Old OCR text cripples language model training, and FineBooks wants to fix that at scale
The FineBooks project from Hugging Face and EleutherAI tested 14 open-source OCR models on over 2,000 historical book pages. The top model, dots.mocr, achieved a character accuracy of 97.6% at a cost of under two dollars per thousand pages. While this accuracy is sufficient for AI training data, it is not yet adequate for scholarly transcriptions, according to the team.
