It really varies on the software but, from what I've read from research
n a typical text page of 2000 characters, conventional OCR, on average,
would generate 40 errors.

Subject: OCR accuracy

Hello All, 

I was asked a trick question today:  How  accurate is optical character 
recognition?  I wondering how accurate is OCR software/scanning that you

are running in your records shops? What accuracy percentage are you 
committing to/ promising users? 


Cheers, 

Melissa
