Ask HN: Is there an OCR that might be able to handle field datasheets?
I am an ecologist looking for OCR that can take .pdf scans of my Rite-in-the-Rain field notebooks (which are sometimes quite dirty) with length measurements and extract them. I've tried tesseract in R, but it doesn't handle them well. I plan on using this as an additional QC step after I enter them by hand. Thanks in advance!
