Back in 2015, I used some tools I found that came with Tesseract that performed post-processing to correct OCR errors (i.e. they accepted text in and returned it out). I used them for my dissertation work in text error correction. Now it looks like Tesseract has been refactored and they're gone. Regrettably I don't remember what the executables were called. Is there any way to get that old version of Tesseract, or is there a way to use the new Tesseract for OCR postprocessing instead of OCR directly?

I guess that would be related to ambiguity substitution.

I have seen that vietocr gui interface to tesseract has the post-processing step for OCRed text. 

It is possible that there are other add-ons which allow for this.
