Woodhouse dictionary OCR

Post by mahasacham »

Has anyone run the Woodhoose English to Ancient Greek dictionary through an OCR program?

I would love to get my hands on a XML file (or a plain text file) of the dictionary so I can write a command line search app with it.

You can ask the people at Lace to do the OCR.

They do provide Frädersdorff.

It's been done already. See this thread:

I have the file floating around somewhere if it's not available from that source.

EDIT: I've posted the docx and the dsl file at archive.org: https://archive.org/details/Woodhouse

“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”
