Douglas de Lacey asks about scanners for character-based languages.
A good start might be the CCNET-L list. This is a list devoted to
Chinese word processing. They discuss OCR problems and collectively
have impressive knowledge of the various software available.
Standard listserv commands apply. Send request for subscription

The Kellogg Project at Syracuse University has had a multimillion dollar
grant to create an online database of materials on adult education. It
began with a problem not unlike that of Ken Tompkins [creating a
database of casino articles using OCR] except that the collection was
huge and included typed, handwritten, and printed texts. The goal was
to put this stuff online so that adult educators around the world could
have access to it.
I must admit that I do not know the current status of the work, but you,
Ken, could inquire of Barbara Florini [BFLORINI@SUVM] for more
information.

In response to Vincent Ooi's question, I would suggest that the teacher
subscribe to a journal THE (Technology in Higher Education---I believe).
I just dismembered my last issue and sent relevant articles to the
computing center, etc., so I do not have an address. Maybe someone else
on the network will have it.
