Abstract
In this paper we present some initial results of OCRopodium project to build a scalable workflow for OCR of historical collections. Large-scale digitisation projects dealing with text-based historical material face challenges that are not well-catered-to by commercial software. Open source tools allow for better customisation to match these requirements, particularly with regard to character model training and per-project language modelling.
