JennOCR

Our own OCR engine for historical, often handwritten memorial cards.

Client
JennOCR is the text recognition engine behind Jennea.
Question
Standard OCR struggles with old Dutch memorial cards and death notices, which are often handwritten.
Solution
We built our own OCR service on the open-source Kraken engine, trained for this kind of document. It handles jobs in a priority queue with parallel workers. It returns the text with the position of every line.
Result
Jennea sends its documents to JennOCR and receives the recognised text automatically.
