It was thus said that the Great Chuck Guzis once stated:
So, you're fortunate if you can get 80% accuracy with an OCR engine.
Obviously, the manual cleanup process is very time-intensive. But it's all
we've got in the music world.
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)

I think it would ... )
