So, you're
fortunate if you can get 80% accuracy with an OCR engine.
But what if you use
mutiple OCR programs? Say, three different OCR
programs and then process the results taking a majority vote on each
resulting character? Even if all three mangle 20%, it won't always
be the *same* 20% across all three, right? (and if I did my math
right, using three 80% accurate programs reduces the error rate to
just 0.8% or a 99.2% accuracy rate)
