Hello,

I was just wondering if somebody knows if there's available workshop for editing Word documents after OCR processing?
I'm using an OCR tool and the documents sometimes aren't in their best shape after OCR reading. Any advices how to learn to edit them?
Any workshops available?

Thank you

While watching the video, I can’t help thinking: is it really worth it to invest the effort.

Nice video, though.

I won't spend 1.5 hours watching a video for something that might or might not be useful for me.

I don't understand why the video is so lengthy.

I meant the effort to clean up FR documents.
