Reed‑Solomon Error‑Correction Adapted for OCR to Fix Messy Printed Codes

Reed‑Solomon codes are widely used for correcting errors in digital communications. A new GitHub project adapts this technique for optical character recognition. The repository, titled reed-solomon-for-ocr, targets printed codes that are smudged or partially damaged. It provides source code that applies Reed‑Solomon decoding to OCR output. The goal is to recover correct characters from noisy scans. The implementation can be incorporated into existing OCR workflows. Documentation explains how to configure the error‑correction parameters. The project invites contributors to test and improve its accuracy on real‑world data.
