[...] submitted to the competition . No major changes will be implemented during our third grant cycle though we are working on fine tuning the OCR correction process. By deciding to outsource our early stages of image processing, the de-skewing and text-zoning stages, we are speeding up some of the processing time and allowing more time for local correction of spelling people and place names and key search terms in effort to improve overall search results. In the case of the Seattle Star we found that the OCR accuracy [...]

[...] known search issues in the current system (e.g. default Boolean set to 'OR' rather than 'AND') and we've heard from various researchers that access to the newspapers can be difficult if a special viewer or plugin is required. We are also concerned about the impact a sudden amount of non-indexed, yet full-text searchable images could have on the system. Due to the visibility and use of this digital collection, the money spent to create and maintain it, and the increase [...]
