AIG Cost Assessment June Discussion: OCR, Handwriting Recognition, and Speech-to-Text
Rachel Marie Senese
Please join the DLF AIG Cost Assessment Working Group at a discussion session on OCR, handwriting recognition software, and speech-to-text tools. We will be discussing the various tools used, such as ABBYY FineReader, Adobe Acrobat, PrimeOCR, Rev, Tesseract, Transkribus, tools integrated within platforms such as ContentDM, and newer tools such as Amazon Textract and Whisper. We invite all who are interested in the topic and those who have worked with these tools to share their experience and knowledge pertaining to cost analysis, workflow integration, overall functionality and accuracy. This session will not be recorded but a summary of the discussion will be released. Please fill out this voluntary survey so we can gather information to help guide the discussion: https://forms.gle/nZhR53aJQH3J2WxH8.
Meeting Information:
Monday June 12, 2023 at 3:00 PM EST on Zoom.
About the DLG AIG Cost Assessment Working Group:
A subgroup of the Assessment Interest Group, the Cost Working group is an ideal place for digital lab practitioners and managerial staff alike to come together to talk about practical ways to assess the resources necessary to plan and execute successful digitization projects.
The AIG Cost Group focuses on identifying tools that may serve a wide range of digitization efforts. Our current goal is to analyze the data collected through multiple small surveys in 2021 and 2022 and use it to inform new initiatives.
Beyond the surveys, we continue to support the project subgroups that developed from members’ shared interests and work on various resources and issues. The current subgroups are insourcing vs. outsourcing, a registry for vendors, assessing scans per linear feet, best practices, and cost estimation.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the group chairs: Rachel Senese (rse...@gsu.edu) or Julia Simic (Jsi...@uoregon.edu).

Rachel Senese
