Cyrillic OCR programs

[Dr Yoshimasa Tsuji]

MacTiger is perhaps the only OCR software for the Macintosh. It
is a brother of Cuneiform rather than TIGEr.

If you're going to use OmniPage and get a 95 per cent right
recognition, you will be spending the rest of your life correcting
the results. Cuneiform is not so good as TIGEr, but it also has
the capability of letting you check errors during the session
as it knows the Russian orthographical rules. But OmniPage doesn't.
If you stick to OmniPage(if it has the learning capability at all),
you can use a spelling checker (fortunately, there's one -- and only
one -- for your Macintosh). I haven't used it personally, but have
heard it is good enough.

Incidentally, most spelling checkers check words against possible
word forms, which means words with less than four characters tend
to be unchecked. Orfo for DOS is good, but complained when it found
"to to, to drugoe"(i.e. arf-witted). Are there cleverer ones?

Cheers,
Tsuji
