[comp.misc] Is there a group dedicated to OCR

beldin@peachs.enet.dec.com (Rick Beldin) (10/09/90)

	I am interested in learning more about OCR and was wondering if
	there was a group that discusses character recognition.  I spent
	a while looking through various and sundry conferences, without
	much luck.

	I am interested in both general strategies and discussion of
	algorithms as well a current and future products.
