In case any scientist actually working on adaptive OCR is reading this, I was given a post-WWII newspaper archive (PDF scans, 1945-2006, German language) that I would like to OCR with the highest quality, compute demands are not an issue, I've got an army of A100s available.
I played with OCR post-correction algorithms an invented on method myself in 1994, but haven't worked in that space since. Initial Tesseract and GPT-4o experiments disappoint. Any pointers (papers, software) & collab. suggestions welcome.
