  99.8%+ on first pass
Even with the best OCR, and high resolution scans, you might not get this due to:

- the quality of the original paper documents, and

- the language

I have non-English documents for which I'd love to have 99% accuracy!



Language is often solvable by better dictionaries. I have been forced to make my own dictionaries in the past, that led to similar error rates as more mainstream languages like English. If you are talking about another alphabet like Cyrillic or Arabic etc, that is another problem.


Yup, I'm talking about another alphabet.
