Beyond the Early Modern OCR Project

The Early Modern OCR Project (eMOP) is a Mellon Foundation grant funded project, nearing completion at the Initiative for Digital Humanities, Media, and Culture ( IDHMC ) at Texas AM expanding our collected dictionaries beyond the current early modern English used with eMOP; expanding our database of google-3grams beyond the early modern period to aid in post-processing OCR correction of documents outside of the early modern period; expanding our printers & publishers database to include data from outside of the ECCO and EEBO collections. We are proud of the work we have done with eMOP and are eager to continue to find ways to build upon what we have accomplished. We feel that much of our work would be of interest to libraries and librarians. We look forward to sharing the outcomes of eMOP and our vision for future work with the participants at TCDL this April.
