I decided to revisit the Gale Digital Scholar Lab training today. Last year, I had trouble with the software because of the difficulties navigating it and the unexpected results from a lot of the text analysis. I didn’t really understand the difference between the text analyzers and the OCR, or that the OCR was actually causing most of those problems. These issues still persisted to an extent, but I understand now that the OCR isn’t perfect, and besides that Gale does a great job with analyzing text that is already correct. I would like to gain a deeper understanding of OCRs and software similar to it, if anything for my own curiosity, but it could help for my current project given our reliance on scanned images.
