OCR reading documents are a labourous process. I once started to OCR
my TNE rulebook. But after spending several hours to correct miss
spelling like "lDiot" to read 1D10 I gave up. And I used at the time
the best OCR software available and back then a quite powerful
computer. The print and the typeface in the TNE rulebook isn't very
clean and the rasterized sidebar boxes are hard to OCR. It takes less
time typing them in by hand.
